👉 "~Guest" in this context refers to someone who has not been invited or recognized as a guest, but rather has assumed a role or position that requires them to be considered a guest. "Guest" may refer to an individual's absence from an event or celebration, such as attending a wedding, while another person is being entertained by them; it can also refer to someone who has not been invited to a party, gathering, or other social function. The term "~guest" is typically used in situations where there are disagreements or disputes over who should be the designated guest. It is often used informally and is intended to express the desire of one person to have the event go forward without any interference from another party, which would result in the latter being considered a "guest." For example, when someone attends a wedding or other large gathering where multiple guests are expected, they might use the phrase "~Guest" as a polite way to suggest that they don't want anyone else to be the designated guest. This is often used informally and implies a desire for no one to take a position of authority over another. In more formal situations, especially when there is an expectation from management or leadership that certain roles must be filled by "guests," such as in a professional setting or an event where everyone is invited, the term may be used with a bit more formal tone.
