Word Watching

■ spouse 配偶者

1) Spouse is used a bit more formally in English most of the time,
but there is a joke people say "What's the plural of spouse?",
and the answer is "spice."

"spouses."

2) There is other ways to talk about another person who is
important to you depending on what kind of relationship you have
and what you think about it. Sometimes people talk about their
partner, which I occasionally find a little confusing, I'm not sure
it first if they mean a business partner or the person they're
living with. Another one that people sometimes use is "significant
other." I think that started off more as a joke, to tell the truth,
but now it's become pretty main stream especially for people
who either aren't married or think their marital status is not
important in a situation.

(もともとは社会学の用語）

■ crumble

That's the way the cookie crumbles.　運命に任せるしかない、
思い通りにはならないものだ、（状況があまり望ましくない時に使う）

3) A similar phrase is "that's the way it goes."

■ turned one's thumbs down　拒否・拒絶・禁止

all thumbs 不器用な人

4) There is other phrases with thumb as well. Two of them are
related to whether you are very young at growing plants or not,
if you have a green thumb , it means you have a talent, for
plants indoor or outdoor whatever type. If you have a brown
thumb, it means you have no ability with plants and they tend to
die and turn brown when you are taking care of them.

■ consider it done できたも同然、できたと思ってください

5) So be very careful using it, it's only good when you're
absolutely certain that it will be done.

6) Joining us again.
