Posted a photo of myself, my DH and our 2 kids enjoying the sunshine in the park earlier with smiling faces and the caption ‘hubs and bubs’.

its not often we have lovely hot days like these so I wanted to celebrate them to the max.

AIBU to use this caption? Is it an instant unfriending?

But.... Why? Why do it...and then why ask on here?

SilviaSnuffleBum · 19/06/2025 19:38

I would unfriend, block and report! 😂
Nah, not really, but it does make me feel mildly nauseous.

I'd just mentally react with 🤮 and scroll on. I only unfriend on the third offence or if someone says holibobs or famalam.

londongirl12 · 19/06/2025 19:40

I wouldn’t care less

Post it, share it, caption it how you like. Generally people will be happy to see you out having fun. The ones who 'cringe' at the words used, fuck em!

MarshySee · 19/06/2025 19:42

My late grandmother actually called breasts ‘bubs’ 🤣

People are very allergic to "hubs" on here: it's almost an entry requirement that you have to start a thread at some point about "hubs" or "hollibobs" and post sick emojis.

I don't love it but I find the reaction to it a bit performative. There are worse words/phrases to use on Facebook.

InterestedDad37 · 19/06/2025 19:44

Could have titled it DH and DCs 🤔

DissDissOrDiss · 19/06/2025 19:45

I mean, I’d judge you and my eyes would roll to the heavens and beyond, but no comment would be made (or ‘like’ given).

ColinOfficeTrolley · 19/06/2025 19:46

Hubs and bubs. You know it's sickening, or you wouldn't have started a thread on it. It's AS bad as famalam.

I think it may be worse than famalam, and that is really saying something.

if it were one of my friends i'd think you'd been hacked Grin

Isthisreasonable · 19/06/2025 19:48

Too cringe 😬

FlightCommanderPRJohnson · 19/06/2025 19:48

No - the caption you're looking for is "Hubster and Bubster" 😆

Mollysocks · 19/06/2025 19:50

DH is Bab and DD is Bub. It’s just how it is and I really don’t give 2 hoots what people think. Although I’m not on social media do wouldn’t ever post this.

Clearinguptheclutter · 19/06/2025 19:51

Slightly cringe but on social media it could be tongue in cheek so I wouldn’t block you (yet)

if otoh you are having a bbq and invited women plus “hubs and bubs” that would be seriously cringey

But, seriously, shocking behaviour. I’m a prolific ‘liker’ on Facebook but you’d get nothing from me, however lovely the photos.
