It's slang in the UK for wife, girlfriend or partner, also, "missus".
Only "missus" is slang. "Misses" is just mis-spelled

I get tired of people picking on spelling in the forums, so I left it at that. There's a need for nitpicking in stories, but not here, in my opinion. It puts some new and quieter members off. I know quite a few people who spell it "misses", even though I use the spelling, "missus".

You shouldnt see it as a negative. Telling someone how to spell something correctly is educating them, so they will get it right next time. What's not good about that? I'd be happy to be corrected with regards my spelling, as I wouldn't make the same mistake again.

I do NOT find "misses" in the dictionary. I DO find "missus" and also "missis".
I'm wondering if this is an English / American difference of spelling like "honor" and "honour", etc. ??
Folks ... you gotta get up extra early in the morning to get ahead of SHYLASS on things like this

With regards to performing oral on my phone, I licked the screen this morning when I dropped a squishy blueberry from my muffin on it (that is not a euphemism). Does that count?
