"Sisters-in-Law" or "Sister-in-Laws"?


Let's take a second here to talk about one thing that many people might not know: How do you say more than one sister-in-law or brother-in-law?

Sisters-in-law
Brothers-in-law
Fathers-in-law
Mothers-in-law

Where are your babies? (A nursing mother, by those hanging teats.) In what slum have you hidden them, poor bitch, while you go begging, living by your wits? Didn't you know? It's been in all the papers, to solve this problem, how they deal with beggars? They take and throw them in the tidal rivers. Yes, idiots, paralytics, parasites go bobbing int the ebbing sewage, nights out in the suburbs, where there are no lights. If they do this to anyone who begs, drugged, drunk, or sober, with or without legs, what would they do to sick, four-legged dogs? In the ca
