I wish, but not... yet? A man can dream though!
Naw, I tried it and it wasn't for me.
I wish, but not... yet? A man can dream though!
In some very specific contexts, yes, but not common and not colloquially. It's used mostly for some foreign words or concepts, like "Prima Donna". But, yes, I can understand and use it in that sense.FatGiant ; In the South cone we say; " A la Prima se le arrima" / To the Cousin you start getting close
and do you in Portuguese use prima like an expression for Great or gorgerous like in german ?
He is by blood my first cousin, a very, very mean one too... Their father was indeed my Uncle. Yes, throughout our childhood together we considered ourselves cousins, and were treated by everyone as cousins. Yet, we have no blood ties.So is he not actually your cousin? But you just refer to him as one, because you call his Father, Uncle?
Not a real cousin, more a term of endearment?
Did you previously refer to your wife as one, too?
Hold on, so her brother shares the same Grandparents as you, but she doesn't?He is by blood my first cousin, a very, very mean one too... Their father was indeed my Uncle. Yes, throughout our childhood together we considered ourselves cousins, and were treated by everyone as cousins. Yet, we have no blood ties.
Peace
Yeah, you figured it out.Hold on, so her brother shares the same Grandparents as you, but she doesn't?
Do they not have the same Father\Mother?
So half-sister, and you're blood-related to his mom?He is by blood my first cousin, a very, very mean one too... Their father was indeed my Uncle. Yes, throughout our childhood together we considered ourselves cousins, and were treated by everyone as cousins. Yet, we have no blood ties.

Ah well, I shouldn't be doing this at work anyway ...Hold on, so her brother shares the same Grandparents as you, but she doesn't?
Do they not have the same Father\Mother?
lol You said it would put a knot in our heads!
The only way I can think of, that makes him your consanguineous 1st cousin & his sister not, is if they are half siblings.
The shared parent is no relation to you, so she's no blood relation, but the brother's other parent is\was sibling to your parents?
Wow! We have an expression for that type of thing:Yeah, you figured it out.
My father in law, was married 3 times. The first wife died of a rather preventable pregnancy problem, but they lived in the middle of a jungle, the closest hospital was 300km away by dirt roads, she died in transit. She was my fathers sister. The second wife, also my fathers sister, had a son, my cousin, and died of a traffic accident about a 100m from where her sister had died. They were traveling to their farm, stopped to pay respects to where her sister died. My aunt stayed in the car to breastfeed my cousin, another truck lost control and crashed into them, she died instantly, my cousin was thrown away and survived with light wounds. The third wife, my wife's mother, he married her a few years later, while trying to get over all that. This last one has no blood relation to me. She's my MIL and hates my guts. LOL
Lives like that one, you wouldn't believe even in a movie or a book.
Peace
So, if I tell you I was the Best Man at my Grandfathers wedding you can understand it, right?Wow! We have an expression for that type of thing:
"When life is stranger than fiction."
Cliché question, but Why does your mother-in-law hate you? What did you do? Or is it the usual MIL hates the Groom type cliché?Yeah, you figured it out.

I'm ADHD. She knows me since childhood. I may have broken about a dozen of her flower pots and other glass shit in her house, because I couldn't stay put, and I only had one speed, full out running. It became so bad that she ended up forbidding me to go to her house. My mom, my Grannie and her fought constantly because of me. LOLCliché question, but Why does your mother-in-law hate you?

If you wanna talk about it.
Okay, yeah understandable then if you made such a mess everytime and her reaction to you dating her daughter would have been glorious to see I bet but to instantly disconnect the call if you pick it upI'm ADHD.

Imagine her face when she found out I was dating her daughter... Only way she mellowed a bit, was because of our kids.
Still today, if I pick the phone when she calls, she instantly disconnects. LOL

That reminds me of Larry Niven's essay "Man of Steel, Woman of Kleenex."With MC's super sperm I am surprised the women don't get pregnant merely by standing in close proximity.
Clearly, FatGiant is a time-traveler. I am will confronted them about it and they will haven't taken it well.So, if I tell you I was the Best Man at my Grandfathers wedding you can understand it, right?
100% true story.
Peace
You're assuming FG's grandpa isn't a player at the nursing home ...Clearly, FatGiant is a time-traveler. I am will confronted them about it and they will haven't taken it well.
At least hecan'twon't remember it.
It's a shame Moonbox's post got deleted.Most based game dev, well played MoonBox, well played.
Or my Grand Father remarried at 70 years old and I was his best man? Enough with the conspiracies, I only travel in time for women, not for this...Clearly, FatGiant is a time-traveler. I am will confronted them about it and they will haven't taken it well.
At least hecan'twon't remember it.
Nope, In our Culture the Grands normally live with their children, or with someone of the Family, anyway, the age difference between, His Grandpa and his 3rd wife could have been big, (My fathers 3rd wife is only 13 Jhr older than me and had 23 jhr difference to my father) my dad passed away at 2010 and my Stepmom is able to live by her own, but this is just an asumption of course.You're assuming FG's grandpa isn't a player at the nursing home ...
Damn, now I want to know what I missed ...It's a shame Moonbox's post got deleted.
