Wife

WIFE:

1. In good society, a publicity agent who advertises her husband's financial status through conspicuous waste and conspicuous leisure.
2. In the submerged tenth, a punching-bag and something handy for batting up flies.
3. A man's mental mate, and therefore his competitor in the race for power.
4. The other half of the sphere. (This view is usually regarded as a vagary, and any one holding it is apt to be pointed out as strange, peculiar, erratic and unsafe.)
