uxorial: /uk-sor-ē-l/

of, relating to, or characteristic of a wife

how to use in casual conversation:

"if i felt i needed assistance of an uxorial nature, i would have stayed married"

not to be confused with:

unction

how it makes me feel:

this one is pretty good. first of all, it's fairly esoteric. i've never heard of it and i think some of you are going to say the same thing. it's also a latin derivative which also makes me think this word is pretty ok. additionally, i was married once (i know, hard to believe) and while i'm not bitter anymore i do take every opportunity to make ex-wife jokes, because why go through the trouble of getting divorced if you can't make ex-wife jokes regardless of how accurate they are?

i.e.:

"fuck, it's cold today"
"yeah, but not as cold as my ex-wife"
"......"

that kind of thing.

i hope she doesn't read this blog.
