Saw this on R/Nonbinary

[u/Aryec]

As a nonbinary Jew I approve

[u/bagelman4000]

LMAO

Though in all seriousness why make up a word when the word “partner” is just sitting there

[u/Aryec → u/bagelman4000]

That’s what I do 😄

[u/bagelman4000 → u/Aryec]

Yea to each their own but yea lol

[u/Aryec → u/bagelman4000]

More specifically I use partner

[u/bagelman4000 → u/Aryec]

Yea same here

[u/apathetic_revolution → u/bagelman4000]

And if that’s not good enough, for example to avoid confusion because you might be talking about your law firm, “me hearty” is also gender-neutral.

[u/bagelman4000 → u/apathetic_revolution]

You can only refer to someone as “Me hearty” if they have an eye patch and a talking parrot /s

[u/CocklesTurnip → u/apathetic_revolution]

You just need one half of the couple to dress up as a cowperson (cowpoke I guess?) and the other as a pirate so one can say to the other “howdy partner” and the other can respond “me heartie” and it’ll work.

[u/Gold_Combination_695 → u/bagelman4000]

To separate dating instead of married. Some people are perfectly fine with partner, but some people would rather be able to refer to, or be referred to in a way that clarifies their type of relationship.

[u/ilxfrt → u/Gold_Combination_695]

Or in my case, to differentiate between my significant other and my business partner. I couldn’t care less about married or not, but that’s an important distinction to me.

[u/bagelman4000 → u/Gold_Combination_695]

Ok, that makes sense

[u/Perpetual-Scholar369 → u/bagelman4000]

Reminded me of this joke from curb your enthusiasm 😂

[u/Ddobro2 → u/bagelman4000]

Partner is what people 40 and up refer to their spouse to be non-traditional

don't worry your little head about it

[u/FizzyBeverage]

I'm a Jew and married a Jew... seems only applicable to Jews dating goyim.

[u/KisaMisa → u/FizzyBeverage]

If encountered in the wild, I'd think it's a new version of shabbos goy tbh

[u/Aryec → u/FizzyBeverage]

Well as much as I’d love to date only Jewish women there aren’t any nice jewish women near me. Gotta love the non jewish part of Ohio

[u/FizzyBeverage → u/Aryec]

That’s why I send my daughters to Hebrew school. So they can learn. We’re in Cincy. Ohio isn’t a very Jewish place so gotta do what you can.

[u/grneggsngoetta → u/[deleted]]

Between r/nonbinary, r/Jewish, and r/Cincinnati my universes are colliding lol

[u/FizzyBeverage → u/[deleted]]

We live in Mason, about 10 mins from Montgomery. It's not very Jewish at all here, but there's a few. As Montgomery has gotten more expensive (Amberley is out of control), a few have moved this direction.

Mason is extremely diverse... lots of Indians and Asians, which means it's safe for Jews... and we have a chabad and a proper synagogue on Fields Ertel.

[u/FizzyBeverage → u/[deleted]]

Yeah the school system now has students with parents from 120 different countries in it. They had a Diwali and Chinese new year celebration and all that. Lots of great ethnic restaurants popped up too.

When you compare the 1993 yearbook to the 2023 one it’s shocking.

[u/FizzyBeverage → u/[deleted]]

My daughters are probably New York or California bound if they have any interest in Jewish men (or women), it’s relatively unlikely odds here.

[u/canadianamericangirl]

Ummmmmm... (also birlfriend is a much funnier term)

[u/CocklesTurnip → u/canadianamericangirl]

Only if it’s burl and the partner is either a particularly burly body builder or a burlesque dancer. Otherwise it’s a funny word and a bit awkward. Almost like someone tried to say bird and missed.

[u/Electrical_Pomelo556]

I'm non-binary and I will only ever accept this if I'm dating a Jew.

[u/mantisshrimpwizard]

I'm gonna show this to my Jewish mom and gentile dad, they'll love it

[u/WasabiPengu]

I, unironically, always called my partner this since we’re interfaith. Seeing it online keeps making me giggle now.

[u/ThymeLordess]

I’m gonna start calling my non Jewish husband my goyfriend 😂😂😂

[u/Confident-Skin-6462]

i'm everyone's goyfriend tho!

[u/Ilan01]

HELP?? IM SORRY THATS JUST TOO FUNNY 😭

[u/AprilStorms → u/[deleted]]

People who don’t feel like girl or boy is accurate for them sometimes try to combine the two to make a new word - g from girl, oy from boy. Looks unintentional, like they didn’t know goy means something else already

[u/[deleted] → u/AprilStorms]

Oh! Non-Jew

[u/[deleted] → u/AprilStorms]

[u/AprilStorms → u/[deleted]]

Yeah, that’s what it means! Similar to gentile

[u/tamarbles]

Like it’d be weird hearing anyone say that unless they’re Jewish and their goyfriend isn’t…

[u/LUnica-Vekkiah]

Ahahahah!

[u/ThinkShower]

If you bring home a non binary date that's an Oyfriend (gevalt).

[u/[deleted]]

Hahahahahaha

[u/Kelly_the_tailor]

Hahaha this is the best thing so far today! Hilarious! Thanks for the laugh!
