queerplatonic partner

The kind of bond that's stronger than "just friends," but isn't necessarily romantic either. It should be noted that this term isn't meant to undermine friendships nor is it "weaker" than romance. Popular among those who identify as aromantic and/or asexual.
Jake and Ethan are queerplatonic partners: the love they have for each other is stronger than friendship, but not quite romantic.

Partnership Culture

A model of culture and human relations based on partnership, linking, and respect. Women and men are equally valued; both men and women can be nonviolent, empathetic, and caring.

Opposite to Dominator Culture.

In a partnership system...

Humans have many possibilities.

Difference is valued.

Power is used to empower and nurture through hierarchies of actualization.

Competition means striving for excellence.

People cooperate for mutual benefit.

Economic structures are equitable.

Nature is highly valued.

Morality of sensitivity, caring, and respect.

(Based on the Center for Partnership Studies' summary of points from Riane Eisler's _The Power of Partnership_ and David Korten's _The Great Turning_)
We, too, in America are in the mist of an revolution. A transformation from a domination culture that views the world as fleeting and open to exploitation, to a partnership culture that wants its society to be permanent and seeks to partner with the world to create harmony.

Partner in crime

Someone who knows you better than yourself. Someone who you usually get into trouble with. Someone who has your back no matter what. Someone who can tell your secrets and everything to. Someone who loves you even with all your flaws. Someone who won't change who you are. Sometimes your partner in crime can also be someone who you're in relationship with, or a person you have feelings for, or just a friend.

Tea Partier

It's useless talking to Jeff about politics. He's a Tea Partier, so it would be like speaking to a brick wall.
