In internet slang, “Old Ball And Chain” is a phrase used to refer to one’s spouse or romantic partner, usually in a humorous or lighthearted manner. It implies a feeling of being tied down or restricted in some way by the relationship, similar to the way a ball and chain restricts movement.
Examples:
1. My friends invited me out for a guys’ night, but I can’t go because the old ball and chain wants me to stay home and watch a movie with her.
2. John always complains about his old ball and chain, but we all know he secretly loves spending time with his wife.
