This is always meant as a joke or it's always meant usually in fun when you say this. So someone's better half is the humorous way as referring to one's spouse or romantic partner. It tends to be used more to mean a wife or a girlfriend. Yeah when I hear it more often I usually hear it the better half meaning that the wife of the girlfriend is actually the better half. Rather than a husband or boyfriend, but it could be used for either one. You know and it's always meant as a joke. I don't know, maybe men don't mind as much to say that their wife is it better half. I don't know exactly why it is that way, but generally I hear it much more often with the wife or the girlfriend is really supposably the better half. Okay. Anyway though, let's uh oh let's let's look at the examples here. Example number one. Hey Sam. Where is your better half today ? Yeah. We often heard people say something like that. You know, as a joke especially if they see the couple together a lot and now maybe they just see the husband by himself they might say it like this. You know, hey where's your better half ? where is she ? Hey, you know what's going on ? All right. Let's take a look at example number two. Let me talk it over with my better half before I make a decision. Yeah. You might hear someone say that. Use it that way. Or number three. You should see you should see his better half. She's a knockout. Meaning a knockout, meaning very , very attractive , very , very beautiful. And this is again another way that you might hear it used. Okay. Anyway, I hope you got it. I hope it is clear. Thank you for your time. Bye-bye.
