few thins make me cringe harder than a 40-something saying "my boyfriend/girlfriend". even redditors have the decency to say "my partner", but still, if it's not "my husband/wife", you fucked up something really terribly

@grips it sounds weird to call a man or woman in his/her 40s "boy" or "girl". Even if it is flattering (in women's case), the word will just lose it's weight.
No woman who isn't a virgin should be called girl, nor should a man be called "boy" once he's idk, above 20something-30 years old. Depends on who calls him boy really, ig if it is an old man then it's cool.
