sinstead
Refers to an alternative action which may be easier or more pleasant than the "standard" method/procedure, but may be eyebrow-raisingly frowned upon by local tongue-cluckers.
Married couples are generally charged more in taxes and given less in social-security benefits than two single people would be, and so many couples are sinstead choosing to just live together without being married. If this act is supposedly so wrong and ungodly, though, why does Big Brother effectively "penalize" people financially for "doing the right thing", then???
Get the sinstead mug.
