so whats the correct way of indicating that i'm refering to the girl i married? If i said to you "Em" you would know who i was talking about, so by saying "my wife" you know who i mean. Its not indicating 'ownership'. Thats bollocks. I'm her Husband. She's my Wife. cheers innit |

Glice - As a fake Londoner, I tend to use "cheers" rather a lot (as you're aware). Is the over-use of "cheers" by us type to be tolerated, sneered at, or even (gulp) embraced?
Nefeli - I know what you mean re "the wife/my wife" - it's something that's I'm curious about too (See also: the missus, the breadknife, 'er indoors and my favourite (c/o the late John Mortimer) - she who must be obeyed).

I think "my wife" is more acceptable than "the wife." With the first, although "my" does usually imply ownership, this isn't the case here. Many uses of "my" simply indicate the relation of your subject to yourself, i.e. my God, my school, my boss, etc.
To say "the wife" gives less honor to your subject. You have cut off her relation to you (even though the word "wife" still indicates that, grammatically you have done so) and have made her an object. Even worse, a guy I work with says "the old lady," which I won't even get started on.

spend 5 minutes thinking about it and must everybody is a hipster, you started getting disturbed and think about hipster consipiracy theories and how they secretly run the government...vice is just a cover for a monopoly of the media!!!
--- last summer when i went to see the ex with getatchew mekurya and mahmoud ahmed and others at lincoln center, three idiots came into the row of seats i was in, and then they started to yell really obnoxiously "WOOOOOOOOOHH!!!! ROCK N' ROLL!!!! YEAH!!!!" being extreeeeeemely ironic and annoying and then leaving (thankfully) after like five minutes. THAT'S when i advocate people to kill all hipsters. |

I would show you what a true hipster looks like by posting a picture of myself, but I'm very shy.

A true hipster wouldn't be caught dead answering this thread, let alone visiting this forum!

And let's not forget that a true hipster would mock the internet for being so 1990's.
