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'?

'yer man' = that man

It doesn't actually imply ownership at all. 'See yer man at the bar in the orange shirt and stripey trousers? What an eejit.'

'See me, see my man, see bacon. It makes him boak.'

Yes, exactly like that!

Or...

'you know wee Sandra with the funny hair? I was up the dancing and saw her man winching Big Sandra from the Co-op''

Right - thought so.
