To not want DH to use stupid words

In a busy supermarket yesterday with 5 month old DS. He pulled a face and DH said to him loudly "aww are you doing a whoopsie?" I heard this and felt sick and embarrassed to be seen with him. Is it really necessary for a grown man to use such ridiculous language?

He also thinks it is ok to use words such as
'booing' instead of crying, and 'windypops' for burps (wtf?!).

*By the way this post is not meant to be taken seriously, I just want my DH to use normal language. I don't have a problem with normal baby talk!

So AIBU to want DH to not use such stupid words?

Ohhh yes he does sound like an idiot, that's the whole point

I love it when people, especially men, "baby talk". Its even funnier if they then laugh at themselves afterwards!!

No idea what 2rebecca is on about...

'windypops' and use thereof would extinguish any desire I had for a man.
Completely agree.

It'd put me right off, reminds me of Frank Spencer in his beret tbh.
