I believe the proper term is "faggots", also known as reddit mods.

I prefer "pardner". Then you can pretend you're cowboys and cowgirls.

It was originally a feminist thing meant to signal that both sides of a relationship were equal and neither was subservient to the other. More recently it's become a thing to avoid implications of gender or monogamy.

I know it started around 2010, when same-sex couples called their wives or husbands their partners. That's why everyone says it's gay. Now, it had exploded b/c of the enbies and troons in het relationships wanting to be special.

When faggotry became mainstream. I get annoyed when straight people use it just to be inclusive in their language even though the obfuscation shouldn't apply to them.

Because our society has been corrupted by faggots and retarded women.

Because when I ride into town on my horse looking for sarsparilla, I call everybody "partner."

because when you say "spouse" they own half of what you own.
