Learn English – What would I call a person who is good in words only

There are quite a few words that can be insulting about someone who doesn't like to spend money.

A miser is

a mean grasping person; especially : one who is extremely stingy with money

"stingy" is also kind of insulting, as it describes someone who is "not generous",

not liking or wanting to give or spend money

A scrooge is someone who is a miser and stingy:

her father is a real scrooge and refuses to pay her way through college, even though he can easily afford it

This word comes from the Charles Dickens story A Christmas Carol - Ebenezer Scrooge is a rich but very mean man who makes his employees work long hours for little pay.

Here's a picture of someone in the role of Mr Scrooge:

A "tightwad" and a "cheapskate" are also people who don't like to spend money. These words are a bit less negative, though: the person may not like to share or help others, but they are not as mean as a miser or a scrooge.

"cheap" is another good word. It is also used for things of poor quality, so it suggests a person of low morals or class who is also stingy.

As Peter mentions, in general English has no distinction between male and female with verbs relating to marriage or relationships. For example, "married", "dating", "seeing each other", "in a relationship", "partners", "having a fling", "friends with benefits", "casual sex", "one-night stand", and many others, all are gender-neutral and can apply equally to straight or gay couples.

However there are many words to characterize the nuances of married life, many of which are colloquial or vulgar. Aside from the basic honorifics (Mr., Mrs. Miss, and Ms.) there are these:

A "henpecked" husband is one whose wife constantly nags him and orders him around, and who is generally the subordinate in the relationship. The vulgar term is "whipped", short for "pussy-whipped", although this can apply to married or unmarried men in a relationship with a demanding woman.

A "matriarch" is a strong woman who is the head of a (usually large) family, and who is usually controlling. A "patriarch" is similar for men, although there can be some religious overtones, as with the male leader of a religious group.

For gay male couples, there is often some distinction between the "top" and the "bottom" in the relationship.. More crudely this can be referred to using baseball metaphors as "pitcher" and "catcher".

A man who supports a (often much younger) woman financially, usually as his mistress, would be called a "sugar daddy". A woman who is in a relationship simply because the other person is wealthy would be called a "gold-digger". Note these terms can also be used for the opposite gender ("sugar momma/mommy"), or for gay relationships.

As far as I know there is no special term for a homosexual marriage. We just call it a "marriage". Since it's not always clear how to refer to the two people in the marriage, "partner" is a good catch-all term instead of "husband" or "wife". Note "partner"can also be used for heterosexual relationships, married or otherwise, so it can be somewhat ambiguous.

(Edit): Or "spouse" for a married couple. (thanks BradC!)
