To wish that 'hubby' was banned on MN?

[merrymelodies]

I see more and more posters are referring to their husbands as "hubby". I can't stand the abbreviation and wish it would disappear.🫥

‘grumpy, misanthropic arsehole’

🙋‍♀️ C’est moi!

I've only recently been made aware of what my husband has as his phone number for me. It's Baghag. I mean it's quite accurate and to be fair he's jobless rent boy in mine

Hahaaaaaaahhh, good one. Made me laugh.

I never hear that one in day to day life and general conversations. However, I use hubby and think it's OK.

Wifey however sounds teenagerish and what young girls refer to eachother say 15 years ago or more

You must have led a very sheltered life! ‘Vile’ doesn’t strike me as very uncommon at all - especially from someone I used to know, who had a strong Brummie accent and pronounced it ‘voil’.

I dislike 'indy' because it's a disingenuous euphemism. I imagine that people who use it want to pretend to themselves that they're not buying privilege and are in fact being edgy, a bit radical and rejecting the state system. Use private schools if you want - two of my own go to a school with a parental contribution (not a 'private school' as the UK understands them, but not free either) - but be clear that's what you're doing.

People call it cringe and silly that I call my hubby HUNK but he really us a hunk, drop dead gorgeous with a good personality to match.

Don't forget DSnake and DGuinea pig.

Totally agree with this, but (if you were thinking of my post above) the language around "just grabbing" a coffee is heavily influenced by marketing (you're in a rush to meet your friend, but don't worry, you still have time to spend your money with us as you just need to "grab" one of our coffees and you can be on your way!). Once you start noticing this sort of thing you can't unsee it! 😅

Totally agree that not everyone is doing it in a deliberate or self-important way, though

Don't get me wrong, I can also be a grumpy, misanthropic arsehole at times but I don't feel the need to rebrand myself as an "introvert" (although I partially am) and shout out to anyone who wants to listen about how much I hate people.

It doesn't make you special or interesting.

I raise you "BD" short for "baby dancing"

Yes, I agree!
A" cheeky" blah blah..
Why the fuck is it cheeky??
Can't work out where that even came from?!!

@MostHighlyFlavoredGravy
Yes I understand your points and I agree with them. My post was more in response to the poster who said it was "aggressive" and "arrogant" to say you're "grabbing" a coffee. My point was, not always.

I've referred to my husband as hubby for the nearly 20 years we've been together, can't say it's ever been an issue. Sorry it bothers you . We have always been a fairly sickening couple though so par for the course. Please accept my apologies on behalf of those of us who like the term hubby.

Very enthusiastic agreement for whoever suggested banning the "...... here" people! Ahhh! "Teacher/dietician/nurse/whatever else may sound more important than everyone else on the internet... here". Always reads like they're basically telling everyone else to shut up as the expert has entered the room. I picture them doing it in real life settings, just storming into rooms announcing their important status.

Please can we also ban picky bits (ew!), 'get in the bin' and the weird word 'naice' purely cos a) my phone corrects it to naive and b) I don't know how to pronounce naice. Is it na-ees, niiiiice, nay-ss? Too much work for a daft word. Stopping now as I know I'm going off on a tangent

Vile to me is very middle class
Which i am not.

May we see please?

Ah, he sounds just like mine (on a good day when's he's not doing my head in😂)

No-one says DH in real life

Sadly, they do say Hubby

I totally agree OP. First thought this was going to be a thread about the proliferation of posters complaining about their wives. That drives me potty and I can’t be bothered to read on. Realise that wives come in many forms, but there is enough woman bashing in the world.

on that note, also detest the liberal use of c**t Why on earth use such a horrible word? Why use a female body part to slate someone? Do you all hate your own bits??

I don't have a problem with "vile" when it's correctly used. It's just hugely over-used. People will say its "vile" not to wash bedsheets every day, for example, or that someone was "vile" because they didn't say hello to them on the way to work.

@MostHighlyFlavoredGravy (yes I know I said I'd stop but I'm on a roll now)

I had completely forgotten BD!!! Thanks for bringing that horror of a term back to my memory

You wouldn’t think saying it would be so provocative to the women of MN would you? 🤷‍♀️

True true. Quite the opposite I’d say.

Why would I? It's fascinating I love threads like this.
