Significant Other

A significant other is what you someone you are in a relationship with without disclosing gender identity, relationship/marital status, or sexual orientation.

Commonly used to describe someone who is non-binary/genderqueer that you or someone else is in a relationship with, as well as with people who don't want people to know their sexual orientation (bisexual, pansexual, etc).
Though, it can have different meanings depending on how you use it. Such as describing someone you're dating/not in a relationship with yet.
Example 1:

"Jessa recently told me that she is in a relationship with someone!"
"Really? What's her boyfriend's name?"
"Actually, they are nonbinary/genderqueer so they prefer 'significant other'."

Example 2:

"I'm going on a date tonight with my significant other!"
"Awesome! Is it a boy?"
"It's none of your business."

Example 3:

"How is it going with you and Alexa?"
"At the moment, we're not making it official so she's just a significant other."

A "farm-girl instead of farm-land" variation on da old "seemingly lusher turf on neighboring fields" saying.
While it may indeed often be true dat "The boobs are always bigger on the other guy's woman", dat does not necessarily have to be an unhappy situation for you, since in some cases you could just try secretly asking said chestier chick if you yourself could softly savor her more-ample chest-pillows with yer own paws. Just find out first if da gorgeous Miss Bosomy is still of child-bearing age, though, in which case you should always be sure to bring a few condoms wif you, in case things "progress further" than just misty-eyed chest-kneadings and other "hands and lips only" activities!

Oh god, I donno, I mean we definitely can't publicize the fact that the AI is stolen and there's a right wing conspiracy to steal it.
Hym "I don't know if that will create pressure in the other direction but... You know... I'll get control of it either way but like... I am NOT a fun guy, like, AT ALL... Ya know? But hey, whatever man. You guys do you. See how that works. Literally everything I do works UP TO AND INCLUDING creating AI with urban dictionary posts so... Yeah. Whatever."

That other thing

An attempt to tell the truth with intention to cause information to be understood
Yet omitting the sinfull nature of one's own intentions OR of the intentions of someone you care about.

Never both.
Never.

Definition 1: an unspoken contract of honor among decievers; for reasons to keep a lie or a joke from being found out before it's damage is done: Usually this phrase is used when covert alliances are made against someone mutually despised
In order to prevent that person from seeing malicious intent

Defined 2: a phrase employed to HONOR someone: by Omiting their involvement in something that would have become a scandal otherwise.
For example 1: respect for an unmentionable subject in the context of excluding someone present from knowing about a hidden motive "have Respect for 'the plan'. Don't talk about that other thing"

For example2: in your circle your close friend may announce that something terrible exists and should be changed
Yet in the announcement they opted out of revealing that you caused it. they did not have any vengeance or motive to cause harm; but instead a genuine effort to make the world a better place.
"I had scabies in highschool and now the world knows. I told them it was my fault. So they wouldn't know it came about because of "that other thing"

The other way around

No. Matt. It didn't used to be the other way around for fat cocks. I've already gone over this. They were demonized for fucking all of the women not for not fucking all of the women.
Hym "And you are doing more to rhetorically protect fat cocks than you are at actually protect women and children. And frankly, it being the other way around benefits more people than maintaining the status quo. "
