second halves
Latter fifty percents
Second halves are the latter portions of things divided in two.
In sports, the second half follows halftime: The team dominated in the second halves of their games.
The phrase also refers to romantic partners, especially spouses: We're bringing our second halves to the dinner—a playful variation on "better half" or "other half."
