What does SO stand for!!?!

[darklittlemaiden]

I think the title is pretty self explanatory.

significant other = SO

I was tempted to google it but then found it in the forums somewhere.

[darklittlemaiden]

Lmao. I always use BF or GF. Significant other seems so clinical. Thank you so much for the response!

[ArchetypicalIdiot]

I fully rebel against calling the dude my SO since I called him it once and he laughed. In my face. Like an abusive clown. Like my face was funny. So bugger to him. He is 'the dude'. So mode it be. XD

I also dislike the term SO... I do use it here in the forums but that is mostly for the other members who use it... I either use his name, Eirik, or BF.

[Minerva]

Yeah, I've never been happy with it, but it's the term in use on the forum, so I deal with it. *shrug* It's better than DH or DBF (dear husband and dear boyfriend)* that I've seen used on other forums.

*And of course there's DW and DGF. I just got lazy.

I mainly call my SO by his name on the forums now, started off using SO and I don't really use it all that much now.

[LatinButterfly]

Yeah, I use the term SO only here on the forums and sometimes on my blog posts... anywhere else I refer to him as my BF, I don't like the SO term that much!

[Bethypoo]

I agree. SO uses is only for the forum.

[Xanahtas]

I dont like using SO, but everyone on the forum does so i do. I prefer using his name (Sud) or Bf.

[Haley53]

I call him my boyfriend or my partner. On the forum, I've gotten into the habit of calling him my SO simply because it seems to be the lingo. :P

[SDPersona]

I also only use it here, because it seems to be what one refers to your girlfriend/boyfriend, fiance/e, whatever. I feel silly using it IRL, so I don't.
