Swiss Watchmaker - a dishwasher-loading style adopted by one half of every relationship. The other half usually stacking the dishwasher like a racoon on crystal meth.
Being possessed neither of dishwashing appliance nor of cohabiting helpmeet, I’m struggling to visualise which half you had in mind for which role.

Iain’s Law: Any discussion on the Christopher Ward forum, irrespective of the thread title or subject matter, will eventually lead to someone mentioning the Bel Canto if the thread continues for long enough.

Watch face - what you do to check and see if your significant other has spotted the new watch you're wearing
Automatic Movement - dancing out the door with your left arm out of sight so your significant other doesn't spot the new watch you're wearing
Rehaut - the noise you make to deflect the conversation when your significant other spots the new watch you're wearing, as in 'Rehaut , look - a squirrel!'
