I use the word "in-laws" myself although technically it is incorrect. I'm from Missouri, so there are many words like warsh rag that we use incorrectly. They are not your in-laws by true definition, they are your son's in-laws. Your son's wife's father would be your daughter in-law's father. I don't believe there are any words beyond that in our language for that relationship. | |||

My daughter recently got married. I hit it off pretty well with the groom's father. we just call each other by our first names. "Some things are apparent. Where government moves in, community retreats, civil society disintegrates and our ability to control our own destiny atrophies. The result is: families under siege; war in the streets; unapologetic expropriation of property; the precipitous decline of the rule of law; the rapid rise of corruption; the loss of civility and the triumph of deceit. The result is a debased, debauched culture which finds moral depravity entertaining and virtue contemptible." -- Justice Janice Rogers Brown "The United States government is the largest criminal enterprise on earth." -rduckwor | |||

Son's Father-in-Law or Daughter-in-Law's Father Can't think of a specific word other then that. Collecting dust. | |||

I suspect the Scandinavians have a word for it--their languages have a lot of very specific relationships. flashguy Texan by choice, not accident of birth | |||

Once our daughter had a baby I referred to Leroy as my “co-Grandpa” since now we’re joined by DNA. _________________________ “ What all the wise men promised has not happened, and what all the damned fools said would happen has come to pass.”— Lord Melbourne | |||

If you're Spanish it's Consuergo. But if you're not, then it's your daughter in law's father. "It did not really matter what we expected from life, but rather what life expected from us. We needed to stop asking about the meaning of life, and instead to think of ourselves as those who were being questioned by life – daily and hourly. Our answer must consist not in talk and meditation, but in right action and in right conduct. Life ultimately means taking the responsibility to find the right answer to its problems and to fulfill the tasks which it constantly sets for each individual." Viktor Frankl, Man's Search for Meaning, 1946. | |||

This one seems the most descriptive. I refer to them as the inlaws in the plural. But I've been building an AR for my DIL's father and needed to reference him by a term other than his name to those who don't know him but need to know who he is. lol You'd think the English language would have developed a single word for that by now...

Drinking buddies. Life moves pretty fast. If you don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it. "If dogs don't go to Heaven, I want to go where they go" Will Rogers The definition of the words we used, carry a meaning of their own... | |||

When I saw Sig Monkey post I thought it would be this. There is a specific term in Yiddish for the relationship between the parents of a husband and wife: machatunim. | |||
