Significant Other

A significant other is what you someone you are in a relationship with without disclosing gender identity, relationship/marital status, or sexual orientation.

Commonly used to describe someone who is non-binary/genderqueer that you or someone else is in a relationship with, as well as with people who don't want people to know their sexual orientation (bisexual, pansexual, etc).
Though, it can have different meanings depending on how you use it. Such as describing someone you're dating/not in a relationship with yet.

Example 1:

"Jessa recently told me that she is in a relationship with someone!"
"Really? What's her boyfriend's name?"
"Actually, they are nonbinary/genderqueer so they prefer 'significant other'."

Example 2:

"I'm going on a date tonight with my significant other!"
"Awesome! Is it a boy?"
"It's none of your business."

Example 3:

"How is it going with you and Alexa?"
"At the moment, we're not making it official so she's just a significant other."

Significant brother

A man married to his sibling/step-sibling.

Pam: did you hear Brittany got married? I wonder who the groom is...
Karen: oh, she married her step brother. Such a good love story, when one finds romance with their significant brother.

2) Any known concept, studied phenomenon or manmade object that has a significant impact on the human race.

Significant ex

The person who was part of the most significant or meaningful relationship that you used to be in, but aren't anymore. You can have more than one ex, but you can only have one significant ex.

The other day, I ran into that guy/girl I went out with for a little while and it was pretty akward. Glad it wasn't my significant ex at least!

significant midget

A tiny but essential component in a complex system or a small but influential idea in a broader context.

"Although it may seem insignificant, the tiny screw that holds the gears in place is actually a significant midget in the functionality of the clock."

Here's another example sentence:

"Although he may not have been the main character in the film, the actor's powerful and emotional performance made him a significant midget in the movie's success."
