Do you talk to your DP/ H in a stupid voice?

[YonderRevoltingPeasantWhoIsHe]

AIBU to think this is a natural evolution in a relationship - that you develop a particular voice to talk to your DP in? Like some kind of private joke between you?

Like, ever since we watched The Wire about five years ago DP does the voice of Senator Clay Davis periodically ('Sheeeeeeeit') and calls me 'muthafucka' (in an affectionate way, really!). He is from Yorkshire in reality.

Ever since he made a big deal about getting a cat I do this weird cat voice when I talk to him. Once we were going for a walk late at night and I was talking to him in it and our NDNs came round the corner - they have never looked at me quite the same way...

Is this a normal thing that happens in a relationship after a few years or are we just freaks?

Yup, we do too :) awful baby voice

DH likes to talk like MR T - is very funny!
He also does the whole Taxi Driver thing
'Can you pass that DH?'
'You talkin' to me? ARE YOU TALKING TO ME!?'

He loves me really.

I pretend my DP is the cat and speak to him accordingly. e.g. whooose a gooood kitty?

He does it back though so its fine.

Come to think of it, DH does impressions of bloody everyone..

If we watch a comedy show, like Michael McIntyre for example, DH will talk like that for the rest of the night and try and 're-inact' his jokes - its quite funny really

Chortling to myself, I mentioned the title of the thread to DH. He looked confused: 'during sex?'

I don't really know what to do with that reply.

Eye - no- our rule is 'no animals in the bedroom'. For real.

Cringing at this, especially the kitty one.

There is a Mner who is married to a german, she says (in an accent) to her DH 'lizten vairy carefully, I vill zay zis only vonce' in that Allo Allo voice. She does it for her own amusement as he obviously hasn't a bloody clue what she is on about.

I loved that story.

We are all morons.

Yes....we do a weird New York Italian...as though we were in some DeNiro gangster film...also a Mexican accent.

We just do.

Pretending to be a cat? George Galloway anyone?

Strangely seductive

Maybe you had to be there?

'We are all morons.'

Talk about stating the bleedin' obvious

Ermmm, no. But I have no cause for superiority because DP will insist on talking in the dog's voice. Or rather his version of it. So as the dog approaches his bowl, say, DP will suddenly switch into TerrierSpeak and announce "Cor! I've got New biscuits. Very Nice, very Nice".

Pande I do that too!!

My dear mother had a normal voice.
And a phone voice.
She dropped the phone voice if it was anyone she knew well.
I don't know why she did it because she really didn't care what anyone thought of her :)

Yeah, must admit, we both have various voices, accents & nicknames that we use.

I admit the cat does channel her thoughts through me quite often. Mostly to tell dh things he ought to do for me, usually outragous things she should know he won't do, like go book a trip to Hawaii. I have always wanted to go there and somehow the cat knows this. She's smart.

Yonder - What's an NDN? (The acronyms page was not forthcoming...)

I dont but tbh I do answer the phone to him in Bubble's Devere's "hello darlink"...it sounds more like a bankok hooker when I do it though

We do stupid voices and songs and phrases that are really stupid. Our poor dog gets called 'da ass' (we're middle class White non chavs btw) cos DH thinks it's hilarious. He says things like 'da ass is da furriest ting we know about' and does silly dances to tv shows theme tunes, like merlin, dr who, star trek, etc. We're complete weirdos.

Many are the accents in this house with DP and I. I think the in jokes and shared silliness strengthen the relationship.

Getorf we have the whole Killing-based Danish thing going on as well. After the last series I trained myself to say 'for fen' instead of 'for fuck sake' (it's a great flexible Danish phrase, apparently, that can mean anything from a mild 'what the hell' up to 'what the fuck'). It stopped my DD profiting from the 50p every time mum says fuck arrangement. At the moment saying 'fooked-oop dansk officir' makes us laugh an inordinate amount, too.

Yonder you are not alone. The Wire had me and ex talking badass Baltimore for ages still do.

DW and I went to the same school so we have loads of these. Main one is a sort of Ali G 'innit'. But there really is no end to our silliness and horsing around. My sister and parents join in, too, as we're very much like this in my family.
And in public, all of it.

Me and my DP can never offer each other orange juice without saying Owrange JUUUICE? in a weird shouty way. I have no idea why. His work colleague answers his phone to his girlfriend in a voice that makes him sound like a simple, I think he thinks it is cute. It is not.
