"hubby" vs. "wifey"

hubby. wifey is great.

i voted "wifey" but i don't know why

yeah but it's kinda cute when like middle aged wives say "hubby" in that chevy chase vacation movie way

i'm having trouble choosing, both these words--when said aloud--are usually accompanied by a vacant stare that i find off-putting

at least "wifey" works ironically, i'm not sure if you can even do that with "hubby"

"hubby" seems to me to get used more often, and grosses me out a bit, insofar as it sounds like a position and not a person. "wifey" I can at least pretend is an adjective.

yeah but think about who says "wifey." like do you really want your guy friend going around calling his wife "wifey"

sometimes it's funny to use "wifey" instead of "girlfriend"

ever since i got engaged i have trouble saying "fiancee" because it sounds weird, i kinda just want to jump right to "wife" (not wifey)

betrothed, omar.

yess

just say my beloved

the scots use of "wifey" is classic

the roger adultery use of "wifey" is dud

'one day you two are going to be married!'

'married? pfah! i can't marry her, she's my best friend!'

Wifey KILLS me. This is probably b/c the overwhelming majority of people who refer to my wife as my "wifey" are bitter single people and its used with more than a hint of derision.

betrothedy

i kinda just want to jump right to "wife"

"Hello wife. How is day?"

wifey ok, hubby wretched

the roger adultery use of "wifey" is dud

i used to hate these words, until autumn almanac went through his "'er indoors" phase, now they seem harmless

wha? xp

lol

xp

I voted for the wrong one ;_;

the autumn almanac use of "arse" is dud

he and his wife have reconciled, according to an article that ends with him saying "I'm not interested in being a minstrel"

Wifey was the title of the dirty Judy Blume book, so it at least has that going for it.

Hubby is awful. When my brother in law was still married, his wife would call him hubby and it was just the most irritating thing in the world.

how could you call your wife 'Wifey'?

Because she's only a fiancee. So she's only Wife-Y for now.

the 25 wives of roger adultery

when I hear "hubby" I sorta just imagine a side of beef stuffed into a button-down shirt and propped up in the corner with a pair of googly-eyes glued to the top

like it's not even a guy, just some kind of home furnishing

hubby brohholi

i just think of pretzels and peanut butter in ice cream & how revolting that sounds.

"What's any self-respecting musician to do after getting run down and then backed over by the world? Well, make the bar-floor-view, drive-to-nowhere "outlaw country" homage to Willie Nelson and Johnny Cash best fit to soundtrack an empty bottle of Jack Daniels. And so this is what Wand, aka James Jackson Toth and Wooden Wand and the Vanishing Voice, did with this past spring's Born Bad, after getting dumped by band, wife, and manager on a 2008 tour."

^hated this. was nice to finally be able to just say 'wife'

ok, i can't take searching "wifey" posts anymore

i kind of just want to say, "well we're in a bit of a holding pattern right now"

Ugggghhhhhhhhhh hubby is the worst. What is it w/some women on the internet? Hate DH/DD/DC/etc too. Didn't help that Jean Teasdale introduced me to women exclusively using the word 'hubby' for husband.

'Wifey' feels really anachronistic...also I wrote a poem abt the time I read Wifey by Judy Blume, which is probably my favorite poem I've ever written.

I don't really use either of these words, altho I think I've heard the wife refer to me as "hubby" before.

I can't believe I almost let Roger Adultery ruin "wifey"

Hate DH/DD/DC/etc too.

Why do people do this? It grates.

DH/DD/DC/etc

what does this mean

"Hubby" makes me think of

http://www.theonion.com/content/files/images/character3.article.jpg

as in

"Hubby Rick ... Ya Gotta Love Him!"

Oh hi I missed Abbott's post!

any truly loving married couple can come up with much more embarrassing things to call each other than "wifey" or "hubby"

"stefan"

any truly loving married couple can come up with much more embarrassing things to call each other than "wifey" or "hubby"

^^^lolz yeh we can and do

They're both bad but I think if I called Mrs.T "wifey" she'd cut my bollocks off so that pretty much clinches it.

hubby is fucking terrible

no "wifey" = no Dizzee Rascal

this seems to be a pretty even poll

^truthbomb.

won't even consider posting such names

and tbh neither 'wifey' nor 'hubby' bother me much at all

hubby will always remind me of jean teasdale and it did before i even knew who jean teasdale was

i just think of pretzels and peanut butter in ice cream & how revolting that sounds.

It's actually pretty good.

this sounds about right

a grunting slab of beef that you live with that is static except when grumbling about doing chores or paying for items at home depot

like this? These are actually called "husbands"

xp yes

DH/DD/DC/etc

what does this mean

darling husband/darling daughter/darling child

For moms on the online.

what the hell

That is just ridiculous.

"I finally had to start paying attention to DH - he was feeling left out while I watched (nothing happening) on my computer, knitted and watched a DVD! LOL!!"

"i am still walking ( i know it sounds boring, sorry :) ) and i am kinda slipping on the not-so-much dairy. it’s sorta like MORE DAIRY! MORE DAIRY i blame dh"

omg this forum has a thread TITLED "Family ~ DD DS DH SIL DIL MIL FIL, etcIL"

use of "hubby" on the same forum:

"the sower ws much needed when i grosed myself ou in bed raising my arm and going Omg whats that smell…wait its me. so i got a quick shower in before the kids were up. hubby th i look good right now with makeupon and m hair did lol. eventually i’ll work on the lower half and wer my jeans again"

i hate it when i grose myself ou in bed!!!

xp :(

A google search for "kill dh" is pretty revealing.

"While hubby and hussy are making love upstairs, ghosty is setting fire to house downstairs and the evil couple burn to death and plot to kill wifey dies ..."

incredible.

*shudder*

am I going to be accused of bad parenting if/when I have a kid and refer to it mostly as "my kid" or "Hub?"

"Hubby and Hussy" sounds like some kind of clothing store

I wish "ghosty" was an option in this poll.

"the sower ws much needed when i grosed myself ou in bed raising my arm and going Omg whats that smell…wait its me. so i got a quick shower in before the kids were up. hubby th i look good right now with makeupon and m hair did lol. eventually i’ll work on the lower half and wer my jeans again"

what language is this

You're going to call your kid Hub, nabisco? Is it short for HUxtaBle?

from a blog post called "i'm going to kill dh!!!!!"

"Then he falls back asleep while I'm rubbing my tush and he FARTS IN HIS SLEEP!!!!! Mind you he does this UNDER the effing blanket so it creeps up to my nose while I'm FINALLY falling asleep at 5:15 am!!!! So I scream again and say "YOU STINK YOU SMELLY EFFING JERK!!!" He moves a little and GOES BACK TO SLEEP!!"

eventually i’ll work on the lower half and wer my jeans again

she only showered her upper half?

http://www.jazz.com/assets/2008/11/5/albumcoverFreddieHubbard-HubTones.jpg

Hub [.]

Maybe it's short for Hubba.

I can't beat Peter Cetera and his fictional child Et, but I can try

(sorry, this joke is only funny for people who know me, I apologize)

"My mother is horrified that we aren’t going to circumsize. She thinks our son will be made fun of in the locker room, and that he isn’t going to look like DH.. well, I’ve got news for her - kids will always find something to make fun of and I seriously doubt the state of his foreskin is going to be the reason (and honestly, 90% of my friends with boys have NOT circumsized so he’ll be in good company).. and as far as LOOKING like his dad, well DH has 36 years of a head start in the growth and development department - he isn’t going to look like him anyway! lol"

eww

who are these people?

gentiles

maybe I don't want to be a parent

I'm a gentile, and I don't think anyone in my gentile family was terribly concerned with a son's penis resembling that of his father.

"I LOVE our big lug o’ mush ball Cooper…I mean I am completely in LOVE with him…

Last night he tackled DH and was licking him all over… it was so cute to see my 6 ft DH in a fit of giggles while Cooper was licking him all over, waggin’ that nub of his…

When I use the bathroom, I close the door… then I hear… ‘scratch… scratch at the door… ”I’ll be out in a minute Coops!!”"

waggin that nub, eh?

Cooper was licking him all over, waggin’ that nub of his…

Cooper was licking him all over, waggin’ that nub of his…

i think i want a kid but i don't even want to hang out with other parents or talk with people about domestic life

"We bought a watermelon this weekend. It was a fairly small, baby sized melon. I was holding it in front of my belly looking horrified when DH found me in the kitchen lol"

xp Dan: but was it circumcized?

darling husband just as this air of... smug sarcasm to it, and to be used so casually! these people are the most disgusting savages etc

I think many fathers have a desire for their sons penises to be the kind they're most familiar with, just ... because

nd as far as LOOKING like his dad, well DH has 36 years of a head start in the growth and development department - he isn’t going to look like him anyway! lol

This gives me such fear.

we have friends who call each other "darling" and it is simultaneously genuine and sarcastic, ie they realize everyone else thinks it's insufferable and delight in inflicting it on us

yeah I think for a mother that woman is missing something about penises

ETA: DH wants to know if applesauce is sugary enough that I can can it without a pressure cancer.

I SURE hope this is a typo.

Award for gross comment with the most alphabet soup in it:

You know as an ‘interesting’ aside to this - and in the TMI for me b/c it was a family member - my Dh has a BIL who gets Viagra through the VA— but he is only allowed 4 pills a month!! (I guess the gov’t is dictating how much sex some people can have —or at least the chemically assisted errections!)

hubb-e

this darling thread makes me barf

Without my 7 a.m. can of High Gravity I start to get the Darling Tremens.

The people who usually use DH/etc. are the ones that use lol as punctuation.

I hate DH/DD/DS so fucking much. And I know people in real life who use them in their online writing. UGH.

It's weird that hubby is so firmly attached to the very specific Hummel/Beanie Baby/fibromyalgia Jean Teasdale demographic. What makes the word so appealing to these ladies?

Hummel/Beanie Baby/fibromyalgia

BAHAHAHAHAHAHA

i hate hubby and wifey and veggies.

"my hubby is a foodie and the other day he said to me, 'wifey, let's get some veggies.'"

AHHHHHHHHHHH

the toxic mix of hubbies and foodies!

chubby sclubbies

schlubbies

I'm a foodie - I think this is a great concept and have other suggestions

I'm a foodie. My hubby is a foodie.

He has more tolerance than I do for processed foods (don't stand between him and his Little Debbies). I can't bear most processed foods/mixes so we make most of our meals out of basic ingredients.

little debbies

really dislike "veggies" but oddly feel bit odd if I choose to ask for a "vegetable burger" in a restaurant. odd

little debbies >>>>>>> hubby, wifey

My DDM just loves his DD8.

Doesn't work!

DDT

hubbicide

^^ is that some soccer team?

hubbuteo

tele hubbies!

my DH loves BBWs LOL

BBWs with DDs who post on BBS

^^ at the DMV.

Hubby, wifey and fiancee are all awful terms. Just call her yr wench.

'my strumpet/slattern/trollop/harlot'

actually, have we polled terms for loose women yet

May I calmly suggest that you never start that poll? Think of it as a personal favor, if that helps.

i wasn't going to, but yeah understood

Listen to Laurel, Louis. That is some SOUND fucking ADVICE.

Those DH/DC type parenting/family forums are also the type of places where a stillbirth is referred to as "born sleeping", which is the most horrifying thing I've read in some time.

I like to use "hoosband" and "wife" in Hermes from Futurama scolding mode, but you know me.

Ha, me too! Except he says "wife o' mine!"

Bound together in futuramial bliss.

Both of these are too awful for me to be able to decide.

wifey barely even registers for me, compared to the badness of hubby

It's like "TS: Mee-maw vs. Pee-paw"

bromance vs. mancrush

obviously mancrush is less offensive than bromance

mancunt otoh

bromance vs. mangina - more evenly matched.

just stop dude.

Nobody north of Cajun country says Mee-Maw or Pee-Paw, though? Okay, maybe some people. But in the rest of the country...no.

I think a couple of the thugs in The Wire said "mee-maw" - first time I'd heard it.
