Meanwhile, many thanks to mealPlanLover (seriously?) for the useful hyperlinking of "male." I would be at a loss otherwise.  |
I agree, I've only seen it used for boyfriend, but I was just being conveniently vague. I've never actually heard it in person, but read it in the Little House on the Prairie books
Nice to have a spammer finally out himself.
