There is nothing wrong with the term 'hubby'.

[pictish]

There just isn't.
This MN trend of sneering at posters for using a common term that has been deemed unfashionable...but only on mumsnet...is boring, childish and bloody rude.
If you had a go at someone for using it in rl you'd look like a dick.

AIBU?

I love silly swearing. And gin.

'Preggers' gets my goat. I see that - and hubby, little man et al - in a lot of the women's weekly disaster magazines. They're the worst for it!

I would like the rolls eyes emoticon for silly, immature people who swear for no apparent reason

Just because you can't grasp the reason doesn't mean there isn't one. Even if the only reason is that we like to say FUCK a lot.

People who choose not to swear and then make a massive deal about how they think it's immature to do so, are immature and have some kind of misplaced superiority complex.

I have no problem with people not swearing. It isn't compulsory. I am respectful and certainly don't swear around children or at work much .

But if I want to say 'bollockytwatwankingarses' on here, I will.

If someone started a thread saying that their hubby had floated out to sea on an inflatable dolphin and to send help immediately I don't think that would be the right time to get snippy about the use of the word hubby. I would think 'bloody hate the word hubby' as I looked up the coastguard's telephone number though.

Best comment on the thread award goes to bunty

I imagine Kevin off Strictly would use the word and therefore it's awful BowieFan
