"significant other"? that one seems to be gaining momentum. enough that it's now referred to as "S.O." in some circles. what say yoU?Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04732175741329239889noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6474021797721606167.post-23993645796634088582007-05-21T13:39:00.000-04:002007-05-21T13:39:00.000-04:00very nice, but i was thinking more of a grown-up t...very nice, but i was thinking more of a grown-up term for full on "boyfriend-girlfriend" status.
