to detest the use of the word 'Bubba'?

[cheapandcheerful]

...the word you're looking for is 'BABY'.

You are absolutely definitely NOT being unreasonable.

I hate baby talk with a passion!!!

My FIL keeps saying to DS, "Look at your teggy coming through" and all I want to do is scream "It's a tooth, not a f*ing teggy!!!!

YABU a because I still call my 17 yr old "Bubs"

I use bubba and variations of...

Also say cherub, Princess, pudding etc

Just to clarify only TO dd not about her...to other adults I only use her name

Hate it!!! Don't mind baba...

Heard someone call their son "lil sir" yesterday...

YADNBU It fucking grates on me.
Thankfully I don't really know anyone who says it.
Apart from a couple of vague 'friends' on facebook.
If anyone I knew said it in RL, I would slap them till they got the message.

And don't start me off on fucking hubster.

I have a friend who refers to his girlfriend as his 'good lady'. Gives me the heebies!

Oh yes yes yes I hate it too.

My DM uses it. 'How's bub?'. It grates. Mind you, when DS was teething she would ask me 'Have any more toothy-pegs come through?'

Drove me barmy

Yanbu. My sil calls her son 'bub' and refers to herself as 'mummy' all the time. Constant fb status changes like 'mummy is very tired/happy/whatever today' why call yourself mummy to other adults? Don't get it.

One word - preggo

Cilla black when she knew she was going to be a grandmother didn't fancy being called gran, nana etc....the poor kid could call her bubba!

Babby is an expression used in the north. I don't like it myself.

But my grandkids get treated to a how's my little sweetheart on a regular basis.

It never hurts a child to let them see how loved they are and when I leave their house they queue up for hugs and kisses.

That's really astonishing!

I call dp bubba/baba/bubs/shitface/doucher

I hate it, also people calling partner their boo. Wtf?

DH is my "bubs" sometimes, but this is short for bubbeleh which is Yiddish - I have a friend who calls me/DP 'babbaloo'; not sure where that comes from!

Another (ex)friend who called her girls 'Kid-ettes' (cadets) in public

A bloke I heard in a shop calling his ds 'Number One' -( I assume from Star Trek, rather than the toilet ) as in 'what sweeties do you want, Numebr One?'

OP - YAmostdefinitelyNBU

I call my 2yr old baba all the time

I like it, whereas I bloody hate when others refer to him as "the wean/wain"

Oh I have a 12 y-o baba too.

But he has many hats. He's also a pudding, a darling, a sweetface, a little bunny, but mainly he's Mummy's Little Angel of Love.

He doesn't mind. :D

I HATE Wee Man and Lil Man, though.

I call your Bubba, and raise you with, people who write Gawjus and Nom Nom Nom, makes me boke

Dd is princess pudding or sausage but never bubba

Gawjus is the least gorgeous word ever.

shayne - I'm always cuddling DS (11 months old) and saying, "You're mommy's little angel" to him.

bubs and buba are just awful

Ha Ha Manatee I love 'Cyst'.

I have a 17 year old dd bubs/bubba.
