[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Use by an adult is attention seeking.  Our parents are supposed to die before us.

Orphan is a term for children.

It's like how women like to use the term widow when their spouse works or plays too much: biglaw widow, golf widow, etc.

Tacky and attention seeking.[/quote]

Widow means your spouse is dead not busy.

Orphan means both your parents are dead. It's semantics that they are supposed to die before you. It should not bother you personally for me to either say both of my parents are dead or I am an orphan. It's not like people are making shirts up that say I am an orphan, give me sympathy. The fact that you think use of a particular word that you don't like is attention seeking says more about who you are than the person saying it. You lack empathy. You should try to find some. There will be a a moment you will wish someone would show you grace and empathy during a time of suffering and I hope they pick a word you are using to write you off as attention seeking. Cheers.
