To ask you if you 'hubby'?

Not a thread about a thread but a thread inspired by a thread.

I've noticed a lot of 'hubby' references on MN in the last few months. This is new isn't it? I thought the average MNer was as allergic to 'hubby' as Gremlins are to water and being fed after midnight.

So do you 'hubby' or do you snub(by) 'hubby'?

I don't use hubby anywhere! I'm not snobby about it, but it's not a word in my every day vocab!

Onedirectionarestillloved · 17/11/2015 22:07

I wouldn't use it but can't say I've noticed it tbh.
Most people seem to put dh on the threads I read.

Oysterbabe · 17/11/2015 22:07

I snubby.

reni2 · 17/11/2015 22:08

I have never hubbied. Or used hubs or hubster.

ouryve · 17/11/2015 22:10

Hell no. Far too fucking twee.

If I'm referring to him anonymously, I might say "The Husband" and I know he'll call me "The Mrs" because he does about other people's wives.

MitzyLeFrouf · 17/11/2015 22:10

There was a definite bosom hoik there reni! Grin

No, but it doesn't bother me if others use it.

reni2 · 17/11/2015 22:11

Indeed.

sugar21 · 17/11/2015 22:11

I am no longer married so now he is referred to as arsehole, but in the past he was never hubby

Bookeatingboy · 17/11/2015 22:11

Can't even bring myself to type the word, let alone use it... Grin

DramaAlpaca · 17/11/2015 22:12

I can hardly bring myself to type the word, let alone say it.

Brummiegirl15 · 17/11/2015 22:12

Oh god no. Can't bear Bubz or bubba either - really sets my teeth on edge

laffymeal · 17/11/2015 22:12

In rl I use the term "the old man"

MrsBungle · 17/11/2015 22:12

No. I don't hubby.

honeyroar · 17/11/2015 22:12

I use it sometimes. It's shorter than husband and I can't bear DH, it sounds so corny.

reni2 · 17/11/2015 22:12

What's hubby's wife called, wifey?

TestingTestingWonTooFree · 17/11/2015 22:14

Snubby. I quite like "him indoors" or Mr Testing.

MitzyLeFrouf · 17/11/2015 22:14

The good thing about 'DH' is that it can just as easily be 'damn' as it can be 'darling'.

fuck no. hate, hate hate. dh also stands for other non complimentary combinations.

yorkshapudding · 17/11/2015 22:18

I don't see it much on MN but Facebook seems to be riddled with it. "Date night with the hubz!". Boak.

skankingpiglet · 17/11/2015 22:19

Ugh. Just no. Definitely a non-hubby/wifey household here. I think DH would file for divorce if I called him that, it's a particular pet hate. I do get away with sugarplum fairy however Grin
I saw my Facebook feed is today advertising his'n'hers hubby/wifey T-shirts. Clearly the targetting software isn't getting it's audiences quite right.

ScrambledEggAndToast · 17/11/2015 22:20

The Mister or the Hubmiester.

Not actually married yet so admittedly a bit premature but it will be happening in the next 12-18 months GrinGrin

hubby/wifey T-shirts

NotAWhaleOmeletteInSight · 17/11/2015 22:22

Funnily enough I was hoiking my judgey pants at this exact phenomenon earlier this evening.

I never EVER 'hubby'. Boak. I might 'Husbington McHuslibobs' though.
