Were I to have found myself in such circumstances, I wouldve suggested "Godless Tramp I Shack Up With" as the official title. Alas, the only person who fit that description was my brother.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

Always Anti-fascist!
Frasier and Lillith said it on Cheers, so I assume nobody really used it. I could be wrong; I was twelve then.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
"Godless Tramp I Shack Up With"
That's too long. How about GTISUW?
Pronounced Git It Sue, of course.

"And that's why God Almighty gave us fire insurance and the public defender".
If you think using girlfriend in English is confusing, in Hebrew is so much worse.
It's THE SAME FREAKING WORD for a female friend/girlfriend, and a male friend/boyfriend.
So there's a word that's almost halfway between friend and an acquaintance, but I don't like using it much. Some people aren't my acquaintances, dammit, they're my friends and it's not their fault they're males.
In such cases, to make clear we're no romantically involved yet they're very best friends of mine, I use the boyfriend/friend word without specify it as definite. There's no confusion if I say "a friend/boyfriend of mine".
At least, not yet.
Thank God I'm monogamic.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Now I feel bad for my parents. They would never ask me if I was dating anybody, and I never told them I was, because I never was. So it turns out they were often assuming my female flatmates were my girlfriends. Then when my best friend died of AIDS, they assumed we must have been lovers so they started to worry I might have AIDS too.

not your mom's socks.
My mother once sat on a jury for a trial that lasted 9 months.
Your mom knitted during that trial, right? (not the courtroom parts, but I think I remember seeing the results).

I find it odd that in the 15 years I've lived in this area, I've only been called to jury duty once. And we never got to trial stage. We were lining up to go in for voir dire, and the defendant copped a plea.

Do Americans not use 'partner' very widely (for straight relationships), then?
Only in action movies.
"You killed my partner, Ricardo! I'm taking you down!"
Thank God I'm monogamic.
You only play one game? Like...is it Solitaire, which you can do all the time, or are you stuck with, like, Sorry, where you need at least one or more other people? What do you do at poker games, just say "Only play Solitaire. Or Sorry. Sorry."
...
Oh, okay. Never mind.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.
I find it odd that in the 15 years I've lived in this area, I've only been called to jury duty once. And we never got to trial stage. We were lining up to go in for voir dire, and the defendant copped a plea.
In the six months I worked as a court clerk, I set a jury trial at least 4 times. Each time, bright and early the morning it was scheduled, one or the other of the attorneys would make a motion for continuance, and the judge would grant it. So we never got to actually hold the damn trial.
