the correct term is "manwhore"

― Spencer Chow (spencermfi), Monday, 10 November 2003 19:05 (twenty years ago) link

It's Manstress, it's gruesome, that someone so handsome should share.

"Cuckold" is your regular man, the guy you're cheating with your lover, right? Doesn't cuckold have something to do with antlers? How about "mini-moose"?

By the way, i'm probably the only one who got Pashmina's joke upthread...

― Tuomas (Tuomas), Tuesday, 11 November 2003 14:47 (twenty years ago) link

Men who are cuckolded are generally though of, or rather, symbolically depicted as having horns, hence the antler thing.

The cuckholded man has the horns, the cuckolder doesn't have to have horns. (Though I suppose since he is being cheated on with Man A, then technically, he does have horns, too.)

― Citizen Kate (kate), Tuesday, 11 November 2003 14:50 (twenty years ago) link

haha the clandestinians are responsible for this continuing cycle of the sexing

― Ariel Sharon, Tuesday, 11 November 2003 14:54 (twenty years ago) link

The horns (which represent the cuckolded man as The Fool, right?) are there because the guy doesn't know about the other guy. So the lover is also a cuckold only if he doesn't know about the steady boyfriend.

By the way, if cuckolder really means the guy you're cheating your steady mate with, why not use that word? Of course the word "cuckold/er" carries more negative connotations than "mistress", which I think is because in our patriarchal societies it is considered less wrong for a man to have an extra lover than for a woman. Thus, the man of a cheating woman is shamed/cuckolded, whereas there is no similar term for the lady of a cheating man.

― Tuomas (Tuomas), Tuesday, 11 November 2003 15:00 (twenty years ago) link

Men who are cuckolded are generally though of, or rather, symbolically depicted as having horns, hence the antler thing.

Because they have the raging horn, because they are not getting any due to their laydee getting her rocks off with her manstress?

― Dave B (daveb), Tuesday, 11 November 2003 15:04 (twenty years ago) link

No, because they are The Fool, which the horns symbolize. As I said.

― Tuomas (Tuomas), Tuesday, 11 November 2003 15:06 (twenty years ago) link

So Fools have the Horn? Lucky them, getting off with the mistresses of the house while the masters of the house are off invading France and maintaining the peace in Wales and all those other things that medieval masters of their castles did.

― Citizen Kate (kate), Tuesday, 11 November 2003 15:08 (twenty years ago) link

By the way, the Finnish word for "cuckold" (meaning the guy who is being cheated) is "aisankannattaja", which means "thill-carrier". I have no idea where that comes from.

― Tuomas (Tuomas), Tuesday, 11 November 2003 15:14 (twenty years ago) link

You just made that up.

― smee (smee), Tuesday, 11 November 2003 15:21 (twenty years ago) link

Yeah, I think so too. Next he'll be telling us that the Finnish word for male mistress is really "fun-hater". ;-)

― Citizen Kate (kate), Tuesday, 11 November 2003 15:24 (twenty years ago) link

I'm not sure I'm using the right word here... What's the English word for the thing that connects a horse to a wagon? Because "aisankannattaja" means someone who's carrying it, like a horse does.

― Tuomas (Tuomas), Tuesday, 11 November 2003 15:29 (twenty years ago) link

In Italian, a cuckold is cornuto (hornèd one)

― Madchen (Madchen), Tuesday, 11 November 2003 15:30 (twenty years ago) link

OK, if you mean, like "harness" or "yoke" or something, (things which connect horses to wagons) then that actually makes more sense. Because we were thinking you meant "thrill" as in something fun and naughty and exciting.

― Citizen Kate (kate), Tuesday, 11 November 2003 15:32 (twenty years ago) link

Oh yes, harness. So the guy who is being cheated wears the harness like a horse would; that's what "aisankannattaja" means. The etymology of the word still escapes me, though.

Most people call him Charlie, if past experience is anything to go by.

What's wrong with the unisex word "lover"?

― Tuomas (Tuomas), Wednesday, 23 November 2005 13:09 (eighteen years ago) link

Haha, the English language proves its poverty once again. We French of course have a word for this, "amant".

― Baaderonixx weaves a daisy chain for... SATAN!! (baaderonixx), Wednesday, 23 November 2005 14:18 (eighteen years ago) link

Isn't that the same as "lover"?

― Tuomas (Tuomas), Wednesday, 23 November 2005 14:20 (eighteen years ago) link

well it's only used for illicit male lovers - male mistresses - if you will.

― Baaderonixx weaves a daisy chain for... SATAN!! (baaderonixx), Wednesday, 23 November 2005 14:24 (eighteen years ago) link

Yeah, I think the Finnish word for lover, "rakastaja", is used in the same sense - always for illicit or at least dubious affairs. "Rakastettu" ("loved one") is the word for morally acceptable lovers.

― Tuomas (Tuomas), Wednesday, 23 November 2005 14:37 (eighteen years ago) link

"Your lover has been vetted by the People's Commissar for Sexing and found to be of the highest moral fiber. You may proceed."

I kinda thought a "mistress" was by definition a kept woman of a powerful/rich and married man, not just any woman a man has an affair with.

Cicisbeo What a freaking awesome word, it's like a Cocteau Twins song title. Which is funny because they also have one called "My Love Paramour" .
