My Fat Woman…
This is a phrase which would get many American husbands in trouble. However here it might be a common phrase. The husband’s refer to their wife as my woman. They usually use this phrase instead of saying my wife. When I have used the phrase wife they usually correct me and say my woman. The wife refers to him as her husband she doesn’t say my man. The word fat is a complimentary word to most Africans. To them, if they are called fat it is a compliment because that means things are going good for them. I told my language helper that an American man who called his wife my fat woman would be in trouble. He just laughed.
