To ask you if you 'hubby'?

[MitzyLeFrouf]

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'?

Maybe I'll get hubster/ wifey/ bubs 1 and bubs 2 placemats. Nobody will ever accept a second dinner invitation.

I was a hubby once. Not no more, now I'm a divorcé, does that make me a "Divvy"? I guess so. Lmao

Reni, I actually know a couple who refer to each other as "hubby" and "wifey". They clearly think they're adorable but every time I hear it I feel like I'm going to be sick in my mouth a little bit.

Yorksha, do they call the kids bubba and babby?

They're so ashamed that she's wearing massive sunglassses and he's demanded his head be removed from the picture.

Love the 'definition: taken'

I had a colleague who called her hubster "my lover". I imagined them NAKED and FUCKING every time

Yeah, "taken" is not needed there, who would go near that

Serious question here, but isn't hubby a term people only use if they're not married legally, but essentially live as a married couple. Like you upgrade to saying husband once it's made legal? Or have I imagined this.

Reni, it's even worse than that. She has been known to refer to her 2 year old DS as "my sexy little man" on Facebook

I'd be itching to comment with "perv"

Ick, no!

Part of me wants to unfollow them but it's like car crash reality TV...I can't not look at it!

I say (and sometimes write) hubby. What of it? It's common term here...always has been as far as I can remember. I don't see it as twee - it's just an everyday colloquialism. I don't understand or care about the hoo-haa over it on here.

Over my dead and rotting body. Sorry, it's horribly icky and twee.

That's them Mitzy! Why does 'hubby' t-shirt need a definition, but 'wife' doesn't?

Lord no! It is a vomitous term, like bubz or lil man.

I wouldn't live to tell the tale if I referred to my dh as hubby, hubs or anything along those twee lines and he wouldn't live to tell the tale if he referred to me as wifey or anything along those lines.

Only behind closed doors and only to take the piss out of sil do I ever hubby, hubz or hubster. Hubby has always bugged me my mum uses it so it possibly brings out the cringing teen in me.

I refer to The husband, or the Current Mr Honeydragon.

Hate the term Hubby and Wifey.

I also hate hearing baby boys being referred to as 'Little Man'.

Its a bit too cutesy for me. No i hate hubby.Its as bad as The Mrs ggrrr!!!

I don't hubby, hun or xxx

But I can't get fussed if other people want to

I'm quite partial to an occasional LOL too

Oops, I do little man and weeny woman*. Sorry.

*in the privacy of my own home, if that helps?
