Things you have an irrational hatred of

[BurtReynolds]

Call her your womanfriend.

[Jorge]

But I already call your mom that

[BurtReynolds]

That's not fair! I can't make yo mamma jokes back!

[Jorge]

You can, they'll just be a lot darker

[LoathedVermin72]

This is indeed an irrational hatred. I don't see what would be wrong with calling someone your partner.

[BurtReynolds]

It's sterile, vague, noncommittal, timid... textbook political correctness, draining the language of color.

[Ello Sailor]

Extreme levels of cringe that only Burt is capable of delivering.

[LoathedVermin72]

Burt, I say this with nothing but love. Maybe you should clean your surfaces, change your light bulb, get some nice shelves, and find a partner before you worry about stuff like this.

There's no time!

[Jorge]

If you've been together for years and you live together and you share a life with each other, but you're not married for whatever reason, it just feels a little, I dunno, minimizing? Trivializing? to say girlfriend. Like we're still sneaking around making out after school. I know that's not true for everyone, just kinda how it started feeling to me after a while

[BurtReynolds]

It's passionate. You aren't engaged in a business enterprise for chrissakes. Express your love!

[Jorge]

"Girlfriend" doesn't really sound particularly passionate either

[Ello Sailor]

Burt catching a barrage of Ls

[BurtReynolds]

As a compromise, I propose only being allowed to call her your "partner" if you are a cowboy. And yes, you must wear a cowboy hat.

[Ello Sailor]

So yeah, like I said. Unfuckable.

How about paramour

My head is too large for most cowboy hats

[Dev]

Partner is just the politically correct, professional, totally average way to say it. I tend to think it is the best term in most cases.

[The Argonaut]

But partner is too intense a word for someone your monogamous mate that you don't share finances, a home, or make major life decisions with. Girlfriend and boyfriend are two of my least favorite words, but partner isn't a good replacement for those terms in the early and less intense phases.

Fucking autistic j*w take

Fuckbuddy can work. It has a romantic feel to it.
