This can’t be real. I’m pretty sure all those who complained are just taking the piss?!
Please tell me they are taking the piss! Or everyone is just offended by everything these days?

How rude and offensive of these whingey fuckers complaining in the paper. I say MOM! Rude to attack regional dialects.

I’m more outraged by the fact that they appear to have added 2” to their “short” jeans without any warning!

No it’s journalistic click bait and you fell for it. You don’t even need to read the article to know that.

Right the first time, people are offended by everything. I'm just offended by the spelling of MOM...we aren't American

What's wrong with the price? Is it too dear or too cheap? It's actually a good price if the quality is there

@wickedstepmothfker No we aren't American but plenty of people in various regions within the UK say Mom and Naha e done for a long time. As explained on this thread already, not to mention EVERY thread where the same 'we are not American' rubbish is trotted out!

Hate hate hate the term 'Mom' but I don't think I could be arsed making an official complaint.

Slightly off-topic but why are they known as mum/mom jeans? What is it that's motherly about them?

You're right, not everyone in the whole world is American. They should be called Mammy jeans, because that's what I say 🤪

That’s just the accent though. It’s why people think my dog (Humphrey) is called Pomfrey. It’s still ‘mum’ though.

I was about to say that. My Gran was from Birmingham, called her mother Mom, as did my own Mom, and now so do my sister and myself.
Jesus, they try to blame Americans for everything. I happen to be one but was using Mom before we ever moved there.

Can't believe no trigger warning on thread. . Literally as pp shaking and crying and screaming at the article.

That article reads as though it's straight out of The Daily Mash

No, it's often spelled that way too.

I guess the extra space in the hip area and the fact that many women's hips widen after childbirth.

I believe it stems from this Saturday Night Live sketch, made about a decade ago. I find it highly amusing that something deemed so tragic soon became very fashionable...

Or because they were popular amongst mums according to this article.

Mum does not come out mom in a west Mids accent.

Do people from the Black Country also say bomb instead of bum then?

Thank you, and also @Coronilla . By that logic, I think we need 'menopause' jeans with extra tummy room!

Dwi'n cytuno!
But seriously, silly moaners, they were naned Mom jeans by Americans where they have Moms. M&S didn't invent them!

I’m infertile and I wear them!

😄

I wish I that level of spare capacity

@PuppyMonkey no they say bUUUm (emphasis on the UUUm) rather that the southern Bum where the u is similar am or softer sounding.

Mum & Mom are two different words. Mum is very really written too.

Mom is a travesty. Good on the complainers.

Just wanted to say, I have a pair. They're REALLY comfortable.
