Your brother-in-law is the guy married to your sister. His brother is not your brother-in-law, unless she’s married to both of them.

So , then. What kind of in-law is that guy? Or is he no in-law at all. I thought everybody kin to your spouse was some kinda in-law. Just put in-law in front of their title.

I musta been bamboozled my whole life, I guess.

Like I told that other person, our family only had 2 types - in-laws and out-laws. All relatives were in.

All those other people are “extended family,” or as some like to say, “out-laws.”

My family refers to those folks as our out-laws.
