I'm reading a novel with my PIM (partner in mischief) titled The Mandibles, by Lionel Shriver. I was thinking that the novel may have been written recently because so much of it reminds me of our current economic & political situation, but I was very surprised to learn it was originally written in 2016! It's eerie how much the author has gotten right!
- thih9 5y ago> PIM (partner in mischief) What do you mean? I haven't seen that expression anywhere and google wasn't helpful.
- hashimotonomora 5y agoPartner in crime. Partner in class 3 misdemeanor. Partner. Friend.
- rrrrrrrrrrrryan 5y agoI think they're just saying "partner in crime," which literally means someone you commit crimes with, but in slang means someone who has your back no matter what (e.g. a spouse), but in this case they wanted to emphasize that while the two of them don't commit crimes, they do get into a bit of mischief together. I have no idea why it was made into an acronym.
- LadyinMT 5y agoThe others pretty much got it right. I'm almost 50 and at this age, feel strange calling my partner my "boyfriend". So, I came up with the term Partner in Mischief because we have lots of mischievous adventures together!
