Politicians and business hucksters have a knack for ‘relabeling’ and renaming items that have negative associations. Much like the Speaker of the House is renaming the ‘public option’ to the ‘competitive option’ in order to make it more palatable, the same kind of ‘renaming’ game is going in in Malaysia with the ‘polygamy club’. The club purports to want to improve the lives of women and make polygamy more acceptable. Here in Texas we used to call such clubs, “meat markets”. Other terms include ‘slut hut’ , bordellos, cathouse, or a knocking -shop. Granted names like this would make the operation look disreputable. These days, one has to be alert to the ‘name games’ often played. A ‘gentleman’s club’ is filled with anything but gentlemen in the classic sense of the word. These places know that. In the Houston area, there was once notable men’s club who were known for having a selection of various charge plates used to prevent bosses and wives from identifying where their husband or employees actually spent their time.
If you suspect that your spouse is fooling around, be aware of the name game and how it is often used to hide the true nature of what is going on.
