No alimony

No child support

You can buy your lover hi-fi gear instead of jewelry

You can go walleye fishing and duck hunting with your lover

You can SHOW your lover how you want it done.

Yeah but you are still gay......therefore no advantage.......

I found this little ditty and thought it perfect for this thread!

Many expressions we use in American English are the negatives of terms we don't use.

This text from the New Yorker uses the often unused positive terms, which sound odd.


With thanks to my Oregon friend, Dan, for this one!

How I Met My Wife
by Jack Winter
Published July 25, 1994 in The New Yorker

It had been a rough day, so when I walked into the party I was very
chalant, despite my efforts to appear gruntled and consolate.

I was furling my wieldy umbrella for the coat check when I saw her
standing alone in a corner. She was a descript person, a woman in a
state of total array. Her hair was kempt, her clothing shevelled, and
she moved in a gainly way. I wanted desperately to meet her, but I knew
I'd have to make bones about it since I was traveling cognito.

Beknownst to me, the hostess, whom I could see both hide and hair of,
was very proper, so it would be skin off my nose if anything bad
happened. And even though I had only swerving loyalty to her, my manners
couldn't be peccable.

Only toward and heard-of behaviour would do. Fortunately, the
embarrassment that my maculate appearance might cause was evitable.
There were two ways about it, but the chances that someone as flappable
as I would be ept enough to become persona grata or a sung hero were
slim.

I was, after all, something to sneeze at, someone you could easily hold
a candle to, someone who usually aroused bridled passion. So I decided
not to risk it.

But then, all at once, for some apparent reason, she looked in my
direction and smiled in a way that I could make heads and tails of. I
was plussed. It was concerting to see that she was communicado, and it
nerved me that she was interested in a pareil like me, sight seen.

Normally, I had a domitable spirit, but, being corrigible, I felt
capacitated as if this were something I was great shakes at, and forgot
that I had succeeded in situations like this only a told number of
times.

So, after a terminable delay, I acted with mitigated gall and made my
way through the ruly crowd with strong givings. Nevertheless, since
this was all new hat to me and I had no time to prepare a promptu
speech, I was petuous.

Wanting to make only called-for remarks, I started talking about the
hors d'oeuvres, trying to abuse her of the notion that I was sipid, and
perhaps even bunk a few myths about myself. She responded well, and I
was mayed that she considered me a savoury character who was up to some
good. She told me who she was. "What a perfect nomer," I said
advertently.

The conversation became more and more choate, and we spoke at length to
much avail. But I was defatigable, so I had to leave at a godly hour.
I asked if she wanted to come with me. To my delight, she was
committal.

We left the party together and have been together ever since. I have
given her my love, and she has requited it.
