Okay, so my Beau brought it to my attention that I often Blog and refer to him as my “beau”. I personally like the word. Noone really gives it the attention it deserves and it’s under used. Except as a name. Which also strikes my fancy should I be blessed with a child in the next few years- as my Mother prays for every night.
I had my own ideas of what it meant but if you look it up….as he so fastidiously did..the definition is as such:
1. A man with a reputation for fine dress and etiquette; a dandy or a fop.
2. A male lover, or boyfriend.
3. A male escort.
So for those who don’t know me that well……I MAY hire an escort to help me play raqscketball and build my new website. I MAY hang around a man who is well dressed, has a set of manners Emily Post would be proud of and is a FOP. Which I find hilarious because that word means:
A man who is excessively vain and concerned about his dress, appearance, and manners.
DING DING DING!!!
Or I MAY have a boyfriend. I think “male lover” sounds so much more interesting.
From now on I will tell my friends…..
“Sure, I would love to go to the concert tomorrow night. Let me ask my MALE LOVER if he is available.”
OR
“I speak Spanish but not French. My DANDY speaks perfect French”
I am about to start a trend people. Get on board.
You have a problem with the word boyfriend?
