So, a turn of phrase I really can't stand is when a straight married man's hobby, passion, or vice is referred to as his "mistress."
I was reminded of this antiquated bit of fuckery this morning when I saw the following headline linked from CNN's front page: "Husband Has Skinny, Stinky Mistresses."
It's about a guy who sneaks cigarettes.
Ugh.
