partner respecter

Alternative name for "wife beater" t-shirt. Used most often in progressive communities like the Bay Area in Northern California.

Sarah's boyfriend was going to wear a deep-v t-shirt when he went down to the wine bar to drink some white wine, but since it was hot outside, he decided to wear a partner respecter instead.

Partner in crime

A best friend, a confidant, a secret lover. Someone who knows you better than you know yourself. Someone who has your back no matter what. Someone who knows what you are thinking before you do. Someone who won't change you and loves you for who you are. Someone you feel connected to and comfortable with makes you feel appreciated and loved. Someone who knows it’s ok to send that selfie, sext or nude. Someone who you love to message and messages you but never deletes an unread message.

Human Resources Business Partner

A pompous job title self-servingly contrived by human resource (HR) "professionals" to be applied to themselves, obviously intended to justify the existence and further expansion of the HR function within business organizations. A further objective of this ruse appears to be propagation of the illusion that the HR function possesses a holistic grasp of broader strategic issues facing the organization enabling it to contribute expanded economic value and thereby providing justification for elevated compensation demands for HR staff.

A look at online job advertisements will confirm that the use of this title is spreading faster than a California wildfire, giving credence to the notion that this scheme was recently cooked up in some HR industry association initiative as a way to rebrand HR "professionals" as being more than the administrative paper pushers they, in fact, are.

The absurdity of this inflated moniker is further appreciated when one considers that no other functions appear to have widely implemented similar titles in their functions. For example, one seldom sees job postings for bizarre titles such as "engineering business partner", "sales business partner", or "legal business partner".

Castle: "Hey Russo, what's with that new idiotic title of yours I saw on LinkedIn? Human Resources Business Partner? You've got to be kidding me."

Russo: "Come on Frank, it's a title to reflect the greater value I bring to the business."

Castle: "Jesus, Billy, you and I both know you that you don't know a damn thing about business and that the only reason you’re in HR is because you flunked out of all the other departments."
