| Phrase | partner |
| Text | The word "partner," in this podcast, means a person with whom one has a romantic relationship and commitment, but may or may not be married: "Are you going to bring your partner to Harriet's wedding?" A "partner" can also be someone with whom one does business: "Trent is a managing partner who owns 45% of the business." A "silent partner" is someone who owns part of a business, but does not actively manage or operate it: "I would never want to be a silent partner. If I invest money in a business, I want to make some of the decisions." Finally, the phrase "partners in crime" is used humorously to describe two or more people who planned and did something bad or mischievous together: "When they were growing up, our cousins were partners in crime, always getting in trouble." |
