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?

Me and DP do this ocasionally. For some reason it's in a somerset-type accent.

Not my DH but DB and I do

We can't really talk to each other normally, it has to be in an accent. West country is our favourite. DH and SIL must think we are morons

We not only have a special stupid voice, but we seem to have evolved our own private, stupid language, too. I dread to think what our son will grow up saying.

darksideofthenmooncup - does that come from the League of Gentlemen sketch, by any chance? "HAVE ANYONE GOT ANY BOTTLE O ORANGE JUICE?"

we do Lee Evans and Michael McIntyre quotes back and forth to each other all the time. like "completely and utterly gazeboed!" in a posh voice. or

"Stewardess! my kidneys went down that hoooole. Thats not natural. oh my spleens in there, I'll put it in my pocket for later."

I love it cos it means we feel close to eachother. sometimes it turns into a competetion of who can quote it the fastest or right. its still good though.

Can't believe how many people think this is weird.

Me and my partner have a wide range of weird things we say to each other, normally just weird noises that we shout at each other.

For example, the other night, he was playing a game and I was on the laptop and we sat going "chick a chick AAA" over and over for about 30 minutes.

It was just so deeply satisfying. You know sometimes just saying a word over and over is so satisfying and knowing you can be an oddball with your partner is so nice.

DH and I do this as well. We had a long period of speaking like we were born and bred in Newcastle after watching Geordie Shore some educational programme.

Our children think we are hilarious, but they are only 6,5 and 1. I'm sure we'll become embarrassing before long!

Some of you would think me and DH are absolutel crackers. We probably are to be fair! There are quite a few things that only each other 'get'.

Yes we have funny voices, silly names for certain things (usually started because of a funny incident), we also have quite a list of names for each other.... but that's a whole other thread.

A 'good' relationship means different things to different people. But of the good things in mine, laughter, jokes and cuddles rate highly!

Not stupid voices so much as random quotes, Red dwarf / Blackadder/ Bottom / Big bang theory etc. (Bazinga! )
DH has perfected the "Hello Pretty" voice of the Kurgen from Highlander, it's sexy in a creepy sort of way .

Cant believe so many people think it's weird!
I was once chonged drunk and couldn't stop speaking in made up french but really stupidly. stuff like "AAAAH! Boujaabeee! Booooujaaa" and now we can sit quite happily talking like this for ages!

darksideofthemooncup The owaangge juice is from " The League of Gentleman". Seres 3 I think. DH and say this, too.

We talk to each other like new york cops/Joe Pesci ' Do you want a cup o cawfee you motherfucker'

Perfectly normal.

Oh god, yes! all the time! not babytalk though

We speak in trumpet-speak, like if you impersonate a trumpet playing, only "playing" the words of what we really mean. It can take up to half an hour to ascertain whether we would like a cup of tea.

We also pretend to be robots a lot. This stems from watching the Mitchell and Webb "cheesoid" sketch and laughing til we cried - now anything can be "oid-ed", so if one of us was doing washing, say, we would announce "WASHOID WASH CLOTHES" in a silly robot voice.

We also impersonate the cat to each other.

We are idiots.

Yes we are idiots and I feel sorry for our children for having to listen to us gabbling away. DP gets hopping mad when I do my "patronising Alison Steadman" voice.

Oh yeah. DP's Australian. I love his accent but have been known to slip into it accidentally recently which amuses him greatly. Same with a Northern accent. Weird.

We do the Sheeeeeeeiitt thing as well. And have 'voices' for the animals. Our Guinea pig was Bristolian for some reason

Also if we are discussing any plans we have to end with 'Alles Klaar?'

And we can't eat soup without one of us saying 'Mmmmm Noodle soup'

We are basically a couple of fuckwits.

Very funny thread.
Me and DP do baby voices. Like saying yeash instead of yes in a text, and i know hes being a big softie, which makes me
XH and i could still say a whole load of jokes and crack each other up. They were usually great ice breakers after we hadnt spoken for days.
There used to be an advert for a chocolate bar with Vic Reeves and Bob Mortimer where Vic says 'its slightly rippled with a flat underside' in a yorkshire accent, i'll remember to use that one when he sees the DCs sometime over Xmas. Will still get a laugh!

I do the 'justice' voice from death row skit from Brass Eye (anyone? anyone?...no?...ok). Always gets a laugh from dh, even after 15 years.

Or I freak him out by talking to him in a loud, slow voice and call him Grandpa.

We also make the cat talk to each other in a incongruous trucker voice.

I could go on.

Oh and my dh speaks to all of us as if he's the moon, in an West Indian accent.

We have voices for our three cats. One of them swears a lot for some reason.
DH also has a song for every occasion, especially 'going to the toilet songs'!!!!!!!
He always makes me laugh. We are also quite sarcastic about people in front of them but in a weird way so they never get it! (we are nice really).

Ha ha - yes we do silly voices, quotes, in-jokes so old we've forgotten how they started . . . currently texting each other "in character" as Jack Bauer and Tony Almeda (we need to get with the times clearly! Anyone got a spare boxset of The killing? )

@ We have voices for our three cats. One of them swears a lot for some reason

Mamalazarou and Echt YES, yes it was from the League of Gentlemen! I have a cat called Dave and often say 'Hello Dave you are my WIFE now'. He doesn't seem bothered by this

arf @ this thread. Mr Pru and I call each other 'mothafucka' like Mr Chow on The Hangover, RP you really are my kindred spirit. Lots of Boosh / Conchords / Reeves and Mortimer voices come into everyday play, ditto phonejacker.

DP calls the 'Pruhound and I "me bitchez", I call DP a silly cutesy play on his name, usually in a cloying baby voice that is so far removed form my everyday persona as to be verging on schizophrenia.... and if I require a personal service, i.e. back scratch / face press / foot cuddle, these are usually requested in the cloying voice.

DP and I tend to maintain rather a too-cool-for-school persona outside of these 4 walls, I think our friends would be a bit if they were ever a fly on the wall.

As for the voicing the dogs thoughts, thats a whole 'nother thread. She's a right pottymouth too.

'da ass is da furriest ting we know about'

HOW did I miss this first time around?
