My neighbours call each other this, loudly and it makes me wince but, I act heard myself calling my little dog Bubba yesterday! I really should move, shouldn't I?

BullshitVivienne · 03/12/2020 19:13

Bubs and Hubs. Hate it.

wigglerose · 03/12/2020 19:28

Hate it.
I also hate muma/mama.

Littlefish · 03/12/2020 19:30

I hate 'hubby'. It makes my teeth itch.

NotExactlyHappyToHelp · 03/12/2020 19:30

It makes me think of Bubba Gump Shrimp not babies.

It’s bab or babby here which some people hate but I love.

ArtemisBean · 03/12/2020 19:35

It's a baby, a mum/mummy or a husband. Anything else is just hideously twee imo.

Bippitybop · 03/12/2020 19:37

Not unreasonable at all. Also little one, hubs, hubster, famalam and so many more. As you can see I’m a very tolerant person. There’s a pram company called ‘Ickle Bubba’ - I could never ever buy from them!

Socksorting · 03/12/2020 19:38

When our first grandchild was born we called his grandfather ‘grumpa ‘. It’s since evolved into Bubba.

I like it.

kwiksavenofrillsusername · 03/12/2020 19:38

I hate those Ickle Bubba prams. I literally pull a face every time I see the brand name and do a little internal scream.

LiveatCityHall · 03/12/2020 19:40

I can't bear "doggo". It actually makes me want to punch someone.

Notapheasantplucker · 03/12/2020 19:41

Hate bubba and babba, they're horrible

Perching · 03/12/2020 19:41

Potty shot
Hate hate hate it

SummerHouse · 03/12/2020 19:44

I hate tummy. I understand why people use it and I accept it but it makes me quesy.

SummerHouse · 03/12/2020 19:45

Potty shot

That ain't not shot I fancy knocking back. Grin

Bippitybop · 03/12/2020 19:46

Tummy I can cope with just about but ‘belly’ makes me feel sick!

drivingmisspotty · 03/12/2020 19:47

@MaMisled I think we have the same neighbours. Mine even say it in anger ‘COME HERE NOW BUBBA!’ which confuses me when I always thought it was a term of endearment.

YANBU.

I dunno, when Jason Stackhouse says it to Hoyt Fortenberry I get the fanny gallops.

Usernamey · 03/12/2020 20:19

Bubba is just not baby friendly IMHO doesn't sound sweet in any way shape or form!😂 Totally agree it reminds me of Bubba Gump Shrimp!!!

Ha! I was just thinking this yesterday. Someone asked me how my “bubba” was Confused I nearly did a sick in my mouth. My partner and I absolutely refused to buy anything for the baby made by “ickle bubba”

One thing I hate about pregnancy is all the twee slang.
Preggo
Tummy/belly scan
Potty shot
Boob juice
Babba
Calling a group of grown women “mummies” Mamma
Babby

Don’t get me started on the grown women who are old enough to have sex and have a baby, but can’t bring themselves to say the word vagina and instead use “Mary” “foof” “down there” etc

frustrationcentral · 03/12/2020 20:37

On the boob/boobing the baby Envy

yaboo · 03/12/2020 20:37
