This thread may contain vulgar language!!!
Dear teachers and friends
How do we call someone who sleeps with other's wives? and how do we call someone who cheats on their husbands/wives etc?
Are there more popular words for those?
Thanks

An adulterer.
And what's the big moustache got to do with anything?
Rover
Nothing really... it is just that where I grew up, the person, let's say the husband whose wife is an adulterer/ess, usually is associted to a figure of a man who 'wears' a moustache! I believe it's not as funny there as it is here. The bigger the moustache is, the more active is his wife.
It's funny til it happens to ourselves!
Anyway, I remember that the words I'm looking for end in 'ee' and 'er/ess' for the one who is cheated on and the one who cheats, respectively.
