How it's used
This term is a highly informal, sarcastic way to refer to a mistress or a secret partner. It carries a judgmental tone and is often used in gossip to imply that the person is living a double life or lacks the status of a legitimate spouse. It is not a neutral term and should be used with caution as it can be offensive.
