Rural Dictionary

A wedding never bought a wife.

Taken from Orson Welles' "Moral Indebtedness" column in the October 1943 Issue of Free World.

The use of this phrase, in the context that Mr Welles does, shows an understanding of the idea that many of the results that we hope to be so are not necessarily conducive with, or inherent within our approaches. That a single, extravagant gesture can not denote ownership or credit.

That, which is of real worth, must be earnt through genuine and unwavering efforts of love and determination.

"The extension of this moral argument insists that no man owns anything outright—since he owns it rent free. A wedding never bought a wife. And the devotion of his child is no man’s for the mere begetting."

Wife-leecher

Noun-a person who depends on his wife 's remittances abroad to support him and his vices, er, hobbies, including but not exclusively, buying used or second-hand built Gunpla and most probably dating ExGFs, if the latter do exist. This person would often flex things he doesn't have, and the things he does have aren't that significant to flex to being with, like a measly Gunpla collection, bidets, toilets and even satellite dishes.

When asked if he can pay for the commission he wants done, he replies with "I'm just waiting for my wife's remittance" then backs out at the last moment, right after the the person who's going to do the commission have bought materials and paint. This person would also do a 180, putting the blame on the builder for bullshit reasons, and even name drops the biggest Gunpla collector, then later on diss that same collector.

This person does not have a <real> job, but deludes himself that he will be able to achieve a huge Gunpla/toy collection with remittances from his wife, aiming to catch up to the Biggest Collector he dissed earlier on.

"How much for a commission?"

"Are you sure? You might back out like you did the previous guy."

"No I'm sure. How much? I'm just waiting for my wife's remittance."

"Ah, so you're a wife-leecher..."
