Is there a trend starting?  Until recently, I think I was the only one to use the term regularly on this and the TBE forum.  Seems like some others are finally facing the reality of their lives/wives.

Funny story - I was on a cruise forum last year and one of the members asked the question.  The only thing she could think of was "Single White Male Before Operation" which didn't seem to fit the circumstances but, what the Hell, you never know.  When she met SWMBO on the cruise (and found out I'd shared her guess with her), she was one embarrassed little old lady.

If you're single like me it stands for:

She
Who
Might
Be
Obeyed

;D ;D ;D

Gee, I wonder why I'm divorced  ???

[TestRocket]

Until death do us part!  ;D

Another one along the same line is WAF.  In a sentance...  "I'd like to buy another smoker but the WAF is not looking good." 

WAF is Wife Acceptance Factor.
