Espouse

Espouse: noun. Without a doubt one of the most ingenious inventions of the modern era, an espouse is a legal partner in marriage in the virtual world. Although the chances are slim, it could turn out that one´s espouse is actually a real person, but the ways of finding that out are very limited. Even if your espouse were looking you straight in the eyes, you would probably not be able to tell it´s him, her or it (unless, of course, his, her or its profile picture actually happens to be of him, her or it, which is very rarely the case). The uses of espouses, sometimes also called espice, are innumerable. They can be used to clean an imaginary house, make imaginary cash or give you an imaginary sandwich. They are also good at stimulating other bodily appetites, but that might be a story for another day.
