Please be patient

Our volunteers look into many questions every day; sometimes it takes them a little while to answer.

Pro tip: you can rename the thread title with `.tr <thread name>`

Make it descriptive, including relevant context, but also to the point. This way you improve your chances of getting a more relevant and specific answer.

"ma femme" would be the default way to say "my wife" and there isn't a slangy or informal equivalent of it

There are plenty of informal terms for a girlfriend and pet names for a female partner (be it a wife or a gf) but I can't think of any specifically for a wife.

Mon épouse also works for a female spouse.

Which defaults to being a wife, I suppose.

[foggy fog]

Ah ok

[warm abyss]

"mon épouse" tends towards the other end of the formal-informal spectrum. It sounds deliberately formal/proper

[maiden echo]

Does 'meuf' only mean woman and not wife in verlan?

[warm abyss]

correct. Woman or girlfriend, but not wife

[maiden echo]

True, I misread that part.

[viscid oxide]

you've never heard "ma meuf"?

though it sounds not only informal, but also kind of disrespectful

[warm abyss]

Did you mean to ask me?

"ma meuf" doesn't mean "my wife", it just means "my girl" in a kind of disrespectful way. Which could in theory be your wife, but could also just be your girlfriend (much more likely).

Other than "ma femme" and "mon épouse", I don't think there are other terms that unambiguously mean "my wife".

[viscid oxide]

true

plus i do hope that someone married is mature enough not to call his wife "ma meuf" 😭
