I used to use bubs for an unborn baby. Don't anymore

Ds is called 'Mr Mr' or 'Cranky Franky' when he is having a bad day. Franky isn't his name btw.

I wonder if OP saw my thread on the pregnancy board or I am just being paranoid. I use the term bubs once in a while now but its because I am only 6 months pregnant and my LO has no name yet. It's just easier sometimes. But I never say it in real life, it would sound completely wierd to me to say it out loud.

happyhorse · 20/06/2011 14:15

And when the bubs is no longer a baby they graduate to little man [vom]

LadyClariceCannockMonty · 20/06/2011 14:15

~Hubby is mildly less annoying than bubs.
Hubby would bring me out in a slight rash, bubs tends to make my face and tongue swell.

Blush DS is occasionally Small Man. DH is Bug Man. Confused

ChaosTrulyReigns · 20/06/2011 14:19

It make my teeth bleed to hear Mister Man at all ever.

[bleurgh]

PerryCombover · 20/06/2011 14:26

to a child you understand

That's not good!

I hope Mr Mr doesn't fall into the same category Chaos!

I call my ds Bub.

Short for Beelzebub. Little sod he is.

happymole · 20/06/2011 15:31

Lil man makes me die inside a little bit.

I have someone on facebook who insists on writing boak worthy statements about her gawjus kids.

I mean, what the actual fuck

eurochick · 20/06/2011 15:34

I prefer hubby to DH ("darling husband" - really???). I have no objection to bubs.

I am tolerance, me.

JoySzasz · 20/06/2011 15:37

Round here we get "BUBBA" yuck! yuck! yuck!

CheerfulYank · 20/06/2011 15:43

Yes, it's less annoying when you're American. :o It's mostly a Southern thing, so I don't hear it a lot where I live, but one boy I went to school with was exclusively called Bubba. I have to rack my brain to think of his real name...I think it was Erik? :) It's like a pet name for the boys in the family. It comes from "brother."

dickiedavisthunderthighs · 20/06/2011 15:43

My friend calls her husband 'babba'. It makes me feel physically sick. PHYSICALLY SICK.
