Information
has glosseng: In social relationships, an ex (plural exes) is someone with whom a person was once associated. As a prefix, ex- can refer to a variety of different relationships; for example, one might refer to a music groups ex-guitarist, or someones ex-friend. When used alone, ex is assumed to refer to a former sexual or romantic partner, especially a former spouse. This often has a derogatory tinge, especially if it refers to unrequited feelings; some French media take advantage of this connotation by calling ex-President of France Valéry Giscard d'Estaing simply the Ex.
