re: woman, girl, whatever

[arethinn]

dancinglights brought up the term "lady" and its uses, and I made a remark myself in a comment to someone else about how I thought maybe people just used my name rather than a generic term if they needed to refer to me, but it actually does make me curious what word or words other people might use for me. Out of the following choices I think I would mostly use "girl" for myself (although as mentioned, I think I may be growing out of it). You?

"This beloved"? "This fiancee"? They're not generic terms; they're possessive ones.

And ewww, wife. I have no problem (aside from the "...whoa" factor) thinking of you as husband but I don't think I'm going to be anyone's wife, thank you.

Yeah, I tend to agree on wife. I'm not sure what to use as an alternate though..

how about hawtness? :D

I don't think the state's marriage license forms will accomodate such a term...
