CHÈRE AMIE
Noun phrase. Plural chères amies. Late 18th century.
[French, literally 'dear (woman) friend'.]
A female lover; a mistress.
As Lexicolatry has covered words for male lovers, it seems only fitting that it covers female lovers too, and chère amie is as beautifully euphemistic as it is French. "She's only a friend, darling, I promise. A dear friend. A dear, dear, dear friend indeed ..."
Are you, have you ever been, or would you ever be a chère amie?
Do you think using a deliciously romantic-sounding French euphemism would ever mollify an angry wife?

I think it's a shame this phrase doesn't just mean dear friend. Bit of a waste methinks!
ReplyDeleteOh, and there's no euphemism that would mollify me if my husband found himself a dear, dear, dear, dear friend!!
No, I don't think so either, Jingles - some things are just beyond the power of euphemisms.
DeleteI don't think I've ever been someone's chère amie in the sexual kind of way. Unless people have been keeping secrets from me.
ReplyDeleteAlso, I'm with Jingles. Chère or not, a whipping he's got. Unless that's something he's into. Huh. Relationships are hard.
Yeah, I think it's pretty unanimous that the 'dear friend' line is just not gonna work.
DeleteAh well. Better stick to mahogany.
A diabetic shoe’s interior is manufactured with soft material alongside zero protruding stitching, as even the smallest prominence can cause irritation and skin breakdown in a diabetic foot.
