Is there a word in English to designate the person who is my husband's brother-in-law? Saying that he is my brother-in-law implies, to me, that either he is my sister's husband or my husband's brother. The person I'm describing is my husband's sister's husband.

I don't need this word often, but the person in question comes up in conversation just often enough to cause me to trip over this too many times.

The only word is the yiddish word machetenum It's a catch all. And translates to "Dear Ones" or something like that. If I'm wrong, blame my mother.
