Depends...........does he have alot of $$$$$ and own a big boat?

 

Is he an ally in the constant fight against the mother-in-law?

 

NOT.............unless either of the above are true

 

I think he is your wife's b-law. You would be her sisters b-law. But you 2 are not B-law

 

he's your co-brother

well .. according to wikipedia .. there is not an english term that defines that realtionship.. however the term (brother-in-law) is often used
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Co_brother
if you were to move to southern india however.. you would call him our co-brother

 

He is your BIL by marriage

Now if they are in Arkansas he could be your grandpa second removed.

 

NOT.............unless either of the above are true

I agree....Not your blaw unless you need me to say he is to win the argument...besides, you know you will NEVER really win an argument with your wife!!!!!!!!!!!

B-n-law

My BNL (my wife's brother) is an (*) and is proud of it. My Wife's BNL (my brother) is an (*) and doesn't have a clue!

 

Concunio!

 

I suppose that if your wife's sister and her husband were to get divorced, then he would be your "Brother-In-Law Once Removed". :an2:



:rybka:

 

Concunio!

That's what I have always heard in South Texas

 

I couldn't find anything on snopes.

 

Cousins-in-law???

 

Without a south texas deer lease, big boat or money.... he would not be my drinkin' partner, LOL!

 

Spotsndots, green comming your way Bro, hit the nail on the head, dont argue the small stuff with Momma, If she aint hapy, aint nobody happy.

 

In English it is brother in law.

In Spanish there is a specific term for that relationship. A cunado(coonyahtho) is a brother in law as in married to your sister. A con cuno (cone cunyo) is the husband of your wife's sister.

 

I hope he is a good guy and not a jerk because he is your brother-in-law.

 

My ex-wife has a 1/2 brother. He was my 1/2 Brother in Law !!!!

 

You guys are hilarious! Here's the real issue, he's unemployed, shops with the Lone Star Card, and wants to go fishing in my boat. How now, brown cow?

Definitely not your BIL

 

thank god my wife is an only child .... now if only i would find out she was adopted with no tracable record of her real parents.....

 

Hmmmmm, he wants to fish from your boat, but can't get off his behind to get a job? Definitely NOT your BIL. In fact, I think that sort of behavior is grounds for dissolution of any sort of relationship.







SMART ALECK PROVISO:
I don't want anyone to think I'm being a jerk, even for humor. I'm voicing real feelings here. I know what it's like to be unemployed. I went 8 months without a real job once and it was tough. It never entered my mind to go on welfare. I got odd jobs, scrimped, sold most of my belongings, applied for everything in town, only to be constantly told I was "Overqualified", and generally went through heck. I found a way to make it without any assistance from anyone. It took me 2 years to pay off my credit card debts, and I'm ok. I know it can be hard to find a job sometimes, even when you're willing to flip burgers, sometimes they won't let you. If it's been more than a year, tell him to get off the dole before he steps on your boat.
