Singleton? I have some friends who are twins, and that is their term for people who are NOT twins.

[Irish Stu]

Jake, here it's a term that is growing in usage to mean single.

I heard my parents use the term in reference to playing bridge.

I'm not sure I like the term. It's too close to "simpleton."

From the Urban Dictionary :

1. Singleton
A singleton is the name associated with women that only have one nipple. The name originated from England, when a girl by the name of "Singleton", who was later found to be mentally challenged, was found running down a busy motorway completely naked. The most distinguishing feature of the crazed girl was the fact that she had a large right breast and a "deflated" left which did not show any form of nipple. Thus, the term "Singleton" was born.

Divorce Expo says ‘I do' to NYC

New York is probably home to more divorce lawyers, couples counselors and cheating spouses than any place on earth—except perhaps Los Angeles. Soon, New York will host its first-ever divorce trade show, catching up to cities from Detroit to Paris that have already pulled together the denizens of heartache to hawk their services.
Start Over Smart: A Modern Divorce Expo will take place March 31 and April 1 at the Metropolitan Pavilion. The event, organized by mother-daughter team Francine Baras and Nicole Baras Feuer, aims to educate New Yorkers “on how to have a successful divorce,” said Ms. Baras, a clinical social worker whose parents divorced. “It will bring thousands of people together who are going through the same experience.” About half of all marriages end in divorce.
Start Over Smart attendees will have access to some 50 exhibitors, including therapists, plastic surgeons and hairstylists. There will even be a mixer for those seeking a new romance. Speakers include celebrity financial adviser Jean Chatzky and best-selling author and life coach Cheryl Richardson.
