Is my DH demented?

[duggeehug85]

My DH calls bedding bedclothes. AIBU to think that he needs professional help?

"Or just “linen” , as in “do we have clean linen for dd’s bed ?” .
I now feel 103."

I thought that was American, rather than old fashioned.

Someone posted about 'threads' on FB and I had to google to find out it means clothes.

my bathing costume has a moth hole on the left elbow. I must get it darned.

I always say bedclothes. Never even heard anyone call them bedding

My oh calls underwear undies, it sounds like what a child would say, I picture them with cars or dinosaurs on 😂

I say "We need some new bedding" but "I'm going to wash the sheets" - both meaning the whole lot of sheets, duvet cover, and pillowcases.
My DF enjoys a little snack before bed that he calls "bedlunch", even though he eats it at about 10pm

Undies would really really annoy me!

mybluemoonbeam could be that, we have had them for a very long time. Always hated sheets and blankets in UK hotels. How did you keep warm.
Now give me my down feather dyne anytime 😀.

And it is pronounced dy'-ne', not duvet or doona 🤣

he also calls trainers 'training shoes"

They are training shoes. Competitive runners have two types of running shoes. Training shoes have thick soles, lots of cushioning and are rather heavy. Racing shoes have thin soles and uppers, much less cushioning and are lighter. You can actually run a bit faster in lighter shoes.

Totally derailing, sorry
But someone please explain tea to me?
If you eat tea what do you call drinking tea. When you are invited for tea how do you know, if you will get something to eat?

Never even heard anyone call them bedding

No, neither have I. Ever. I call it linen or bedclothes. I had no idea "bedclothes" was old-fashioned.

My mother outlaw (I'm not married) calls her swimming costume her "bathing suit", and I think that's charmingly old-fashioned. She calls her mobile her "mobile telephone", and I like that, too.

I say bed clothes but as I'm Irish I keep them in the hotpress. Togs for swimming things and Gaelic football gear.

I say bedding, I think.
I'm questioning myself now!

I f I said I needed bedding around DH, it would definitely be taken as a verb.

If I said I needed the bedclothes I'm sure he'd be nowhere to be seen

Largely what @Soverytiredofeverythinggoingon said except like many pp said, bedding is the duvet and pillows. I always worry when we go self catering that the owner means 'bedding not included' and we'll end up with empty pillowcases.
Swimming costumes, pants for the boys, knickers for me & dd, dressing gowns for modesty etc.

I sometimes say I'm going to change the quilt.
Except it's the cover I mean.

Had an ex who thought it was hilarious to "go for a short intercourse" whenever we went to the theatre/cinema/school play (any excuse)
He also used to say he was "pleasantly replete".

He did indeed have short intercourse

I say bedclothes, I am from Cheshire.and an oldie.

Re the Aussie Manchester - I was told this was because most bedclothes/linen was woven in Manchester. They also call duvets doonas - maybe from Cornish origins?!

I’m American. What you call a duvet, I call a comforter. And that’s on top of the sheets. I change the sheets or the linens, either one is the same.

Do ye have hotpresses in the UK too? We all call them that over here even my sister who has a relatively new house with a lagging jacket that doesn't let out any heat! And it always swimming togs or bikini. Never a costume. Dressing gowns. My granny used to wear bed jackets in hospital. We'd just say change the bed! Meaning new sheets, duvet cover and pillowcases!

Yeah bedclothes means bedding but you don't hear many ppl say it nowadays

Bath robes what you get with the towels in hotels
Dressing gowns all sorts
House coats quilted contemplated purchasing as I'm a miser when it comes to turing on the heating

Ah, my mum used to get stuff from 'Chums'.
We used to take the piss out of her for it!
