What does this Clymer of a judge want instead of the real term? Undocumented Sexual Partner?

Half of the judges out there are downright stupid.
Let the witnesses use their own words. On cross examination the other side can point out if the words that they chose to use were not correct. Let the jury decide who is right.
Let the complaining witness use the term rape if she wants. Either the prosecutor, the defense attorney, OR THE JUDGE could show her the legal definition of the word rape which the jury will be told to use during their deliberations and ask her to use the term in that context.
Juries often complain about how confusing and not credible the lawyers and witnesses were when it was the judge who bollixed things up so badly.
If I were this woman, I would look at this jury and say "he raped me." Let the judge do what he will.
