Methuselovers: /mah thoo zeh lah vers/ Searching through my sketchy knowledge of history, looking for the couple who were together the longest, here is what I found. According to the King James version of Genesis 5:25-27, "And Methuselah lived an hundred eighty and seven years, and begat Lamech. And Methuselah lived after he begat Lamech seven hundred eighty and two years, and begat sons and daughters: And all the days of Methuselah were nine hundred sixty and nine years: and he died." Wish it said something about his wife. If his wife was still giving him children when he was 782 years old, theirs was an enduring passion and love!!! Perhaps, they held the record for the longest marriage on earth. In some religions, marriage vows are taken saying "Till death do us part." There is at least one religion, where the marriage vows say "For all time and eternity." Perhaps Noah and his wife, after hundreds of years together on earth, are still together! Methuselah has become an eponym for any person who lives an extra-ordinarily long time. Ergo: Methuselovers would be a couple that has been together a long time, so long they might even be together after death, and perhaps as Johnny Mathis sang "until the twelfth of never." Etymology: A blending of the eponym methuselah and lovers. Created by: silveryaspen.

Sweet Valentine's Day to all. Here's the song lyrics referred to above. You ask how much I need you, must I explain? I need you, oh my darling, like roses need rain. You ask how long I'll love you; I'll tell you true: Until the twelfth of never, I'll still be loving you. Hold me close, never let me go. Hold me close, melt my heart like April snow. I'll love you till the bluebells forget to bloom; I'll love you till the clover has lost its perfume. I'll love you till the poets run out of rhyme, Until the twelfth of never and that's a long, long time. Hold me close, never let me go. Hold me close, melt my heart like April snow. I'll love you till the bluebells forget to bloom; I'll love you till the clover has lost its perfume. I'll love you till the poets run out of rhyme, Until the twelfth of never and that's a long, long time. Until the twelfth of never and that's a long, long time. - silveryaspen, 2009-02-13: 01:14:00

Ignoromantics: /ig-nor-oh-man-ticks/ Stacy thought her Gramma and Gramps were such ignoromantics. Yuck! Gramma seemed to delight in picking up Grampies dirty socks every morning. Grampie never complained about Grammie's cold scrambled eggs. Every night after their prayers, they held hands and fell asleep, snoring in unison. They always told her, "Love is patient and kind and hardly notices when something is wrong." Totally Retro! Etymology: A combination of ignore, meaning to pay no attention + romantic, meaning a romantic person, one who is for love, strong feelings Created by: readerwriter.

Perpetualove: /pehr-PET-you-luv/ Even into their advancing senior years Clarence and Bertha enjoyed each others company and maintained a robust romantic relationship which Clarence celebrated by providing Bertha with expensive, decadent chocolates and Bertha 'encouraged' by spiking his evening cocoa with viagra, preserving both his vitality and his ego...and they lived blissfully ever after. Etymology: Blend of perpetual and love Created by: Mustang.
