I don't believe SO is limited to heterosexual relationships. Can anyone confirm/deny? -dmh 17:09, 19 May 2004 (UTC)
- I agree. In fact I'm sure I hear it used as an ungendered form of "boyfriend"/"girlfriend" (i.e., one might ask someone if they have a significant other, instead of assuming whether they'd be the type to have a boyfriend or girlfriend). —Muke Tever 17:39, 19 May 2004 (UTC)
"Informal"?[edit]
"Informal"? It's ridiculously formal. It's in the realms of referring to your child as your "dependant". HaniiPuppy (talk) 22:42, 3 February 2015 (UTC)
- Yeah, I think I'd agree. The shortened form "S.O." is less formal, though. Equinox ◑ 22:43, 3 February 2015 (UTC)
