"A WOMAN CALLED MARTIN'S WIFE"!!! I hope she handbags you! ;-) That's
like people who say "this is my mother/father/son/daughter/friend" but
give no name for this person you're meeting. "Hallo Sacha's mother"
wouldn't sit too well with my ma!

One of my son's friends insisted on calling me Jonsdad so I simply call
him Nedsson.

(He's the one who decided to take a 3am drunken dip in our pond.

I'd say Nedsson was very restrained, under the circumstances! It sounds
quite, um, whatever-that-country is. ;-)
