1. to carry on a sexual affair, especially an extramarital affair, with a woman one cannot or does not intend to marry. Used of a man 2. to engage in many love affairs, especially with a frivolous or casual attitude
The lead guy on the American version of “The Office” said that he considers himself to be a great philanderer because he gives a lot to charity. Pretty funny slip of the tongue.
Funny….. not the extramarital affair (which seldom or never has any redeeming quality), but the slip of the tongue. We heard another one today on NPR: a guy referred to the prisoners in “Guantamino”, which rhymes with domino, which should inspire me to something even funnier. Can’t think of a thing; help me out, someone.
