lol

I recently read that Mendte has been calling up charities he's been involved with and apologizing in advance for any embarrassment that he might cause them for "things that are going to be coming out". LOLLERS.

Brother in law and sister in law aren't really good terms, since they could either refer to your wife's siblings, or your sibling's spouses. This tends to get confusing, since I think most of us have different relationships with our wife's siblings than we do with our siblings spouses. I propose we use sibling in law exclusive for our spouse's siblings (and their spouses too) and use some other term like my sister's husband for our sibling's spouse.

Is that person really considered an in-law?

My wife's sister/brother in law. Frankly, I rarely talk about them, except with my wife, so it's Tom or Denise or Larry. Then there's Bob. It's not really funny, he was married to my wife's sister, who passed away a few years ago. He's remarried now, so he's just Bob.

Huh. I refer to all three of them as my in-laws.

yeah, i'm pretty sure paul is the only person i "know" who has a problem with this.

You're right, according to yourdictionary.com. But my problem is that if I start talking about my in-laws, then you really don't know who I'm talking about.

I like my sister's husbands, but I'm not too fond of my wife's brother. So, the statement I like my brothers in law is meaningless. Context doesn't always make it clear.

We need a few more words.

I'm pretty sure the team that wins trivia every other week is cheating. I keep suggesting that we start spending our Monday's with a few cases and a couple round of Scattergories but everyone thinks I'm joking.

It's impossible not to have a good time playing drunk Scattergories.
