palimony (n.)   

 

is a relatively recent coinage, a blend of the Conversational 

[p]al (for a very close friend) 

and 

[alimony]. 



Palimony refers to the financial settlement claimed by or made to one of two people who 



although unmarried have been living together 

as though married and have now separated

as though divorced. 



The word is frequent in the media but probably should be labeled Informal 



until it achieves [full] status as a legal term, 

if inde[ed] it [ever] [does]. 









　

STEVEN SODERBERGH, recently announced that he is in talks to cast Michael Douglas, as well as Matt Damon, in a film about the one and only Liberace. Michael would play the man who did his flamboyant piano-best surrounded by candelabras.

Matt would play Scott Thorson, the lover who later sued Liberace for palimony back in 1982--even in the face of that scandal the entertainer denied he was gay. (Liberace died of AIDS in 1987.)
