I met No.7 and ended up being a good friend - I didn't want to date or even ask her out - I felt it will mess up the friendship we experienced........I had this fear that if I say a word of affection more than you look good or I enjoyed ur company it will alter everything and I didn't want that.......!

that's american english. I wans't taught american english in primary school. In our brighter grammar, word and opposite were: bachelor/spinster.

In here and in british english, it is said that the opposite of bachelor is spinster. It is also noted that it didn't have a negative conotation initially.

My dear, many fall in this category now. Their formula is:

Amount of olosho = amount of money+ gifts + other benefits.

"In older English, the female counterpart term to "bachelor" was "spinster". However, this has acquired negative connotations and mostly been abandoned. When used now, it tends to imply that the woman has never been married and is too old to find a husband and have children.[1] A bachelorette may have previously been in a relationship.

The term is not used in British English and there is no direct equivalent."

From your own link.

craziebone:


i (and i think many people who's got fair judgement) believe the word "counterpart" as used in the link i provided, means opposite. Did you not notice the bolded parts? What does that have to do with anything?

Anyway, i do not intend to argue or pick up quarrels. That's not my aim. (Really?) I was only surprised to hear that that word is derogatory hence my asking the question "derogatory?"

i don't think i am the only one who has never seen the word as derogatory. I think the op too, prior to now, did not see it that way too hence he used it the way he did. Many ladies here probably don't see it as derogatory too, hence never raised the issue.

I am not denying it could be derogatory. Afterall, many words do take up a different meaning or conotation after a long period of time. Eg, alchemy, magic, occult and most recently, religion.

Religion is becoming synonymous with violence, backwardness and extortion.

emusmith:


Why?

deife:
Emusmith, this thread makes sense. I particularly admire your dexterity. Well done bruv!

marinel:
I dunno, I guess fear of the unknown. Disadvantages of bein in a relationship outways d advantages

MissMeiya:


At the bolded, I saw and chose to ignore the insult.

That is the current definition of spinster. I did not add anything to the definition. Simply copied and pasted. And in the MODERN dictionary, the word "spinster" is a derogatory term. Perhaps in 18th century Queen's English it was not so, but in this century, that's what spinster means. It's not "could be". It is. It's not a matter of opinion. This is what reference books like dictionaries and encyclopedias were made for. To quell disagreement over established fact.

I guess I didn't ignore the insult after all.

MissMeiya:


The opposite of bachelor is bachelorette. Spinster means an old, unmarried woman. It's derogatory.

BornSad:


I thought I was the only one that noticed.

MissMeiya:


There you are!!!! I've been looking for you!

Come to me.

BornSad:


Wow! Glad I got your attention.

Happy New Year!

I've not been very active on Nairaland of recent; no thanks to my stressful job. But if there's one person that makes me visit the site occasionally, it's you. Believe it or not, I've been following you diligently, call it stalking if you want. Your posts on the politics section etc., I just read them, smile and say to myself, "ma chérie fait comme d'habitude". Really wish I could be around more often.

How have you been?

MissMeiya:


Happy New Year! Please, don't read my Politics posts. *covers face*

I sent you an email before. Check it. I will send you another, right now.

emusmith:
