"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

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.

hubby heker

"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

as in

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

Oh hi I missed Abbott's post!

lol

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

you know hubby and his little debbies ; )

DH just luvs his LDs lol.

maybe she means his mistresses

GEts confusing for indicating that something beginning w/D is 'darling :O) lol'

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.
