ReBrotherInLaw Word Of The Day

Reboyfriend's siblings made habits of marrying arguably rad people. He was about to complete the circle with rad yours truly. But that's only a small part of the point. One of his brothers-in-law called me "Girlfriend Widow." I thought it was a wonderful term. He said "You've earned it, in my opinion."

With great thanks, I would now like to add a new word to my blogtastic vernacular.

GfW, noun: Short for Girlfriend Widow. This is more than "girlfriend of the departed," as the departed was in that awkward stage between boyfriend and fiance, and because this is a role that was galvanized by years of patience, mixed with adoration, mixed with impatience, mixed with passion, mixed with flakiness, mixed with great stories and much frolicking. Otherwise you're just a girl whose boyfriend died. See also, unwidow. 


This brother-in-law also came up with the word Jedly, if that tells you anything! You know how I love words. That is all, you may go.
