Why Do I Hate The Word "hubby" So Much?

I can't stand when I read, "my hubby" this, and "my hubby" that. I can't explain why. Maybe I would compare it to calling my wife, "my 'ol lady."

Is it just me?

  • Well, my wife prefers to call me "old b@stard" so hubby would be a step up

  • If she called u her ol man it would be like that. Hubby is like you calling her wifey. Much less offensive in my book. Hubby has a nice warm feel when I type it about my man.

    I feel that way about the word "moist." Of course, that's not the matter at hand, but I thought I'd throw it out there.

I love my hubby...my hubby provides for me...my hubby loves his daughter..my hubby has a good job...have I gotten on your nerves yet? LOL!

OMG....ME TOO!! {gag}

And I absolutely cannot STAND it when someone refers to their child as "my kid". It sounds so trashy!! Now "my kids" inexplicably doesn't bother me. Go figure.

My husband will have a knot on his head if ever, EVER refers to me as his "old/ol' lady". Awful!

Let's just high jack this thread...I want a ruling..the word "moist" has way more grossitude than the word "hubby". Moist should only be referred to in baked goods..Or foods in general. If it is referred to in bodily reference, it is just downright gross or pornographic if you know what I mean...Moist..eeeeeeewwwwwwweeeeee!

Didn't we always used to say "DH" dear husband on internet forums when referring to he whom we are legally partnered with? What the heck happened to that?

I used to be really active in a woodworking forum a while back. Predictably, it was almost exclusively men on there. Many members referred to their wives as "SWMBO," which stands for She Who Must Be Obeyed. It was usually in reference to some tool purchase or future project.

First you set out to irritate everyone, then you just want to outright hijack the thread?? Sheesh! :huh::P

When I think of the word moist, I can think of only one, delicious thing: cake! LOL. Nothing better than a hot, moist, ready to be eaten pundcake! :D

HaHa - I can think of worse words then moist and hubby.

Phlem for example. If I really thought about it, I am sure i could do even more.

I'm not a fan in any context. My wife and I once went to a diner that advertised its "Moist and Fluffy Omelets." I can hardly choke an omelet down now.

Which is better "old Lady" or "old Bag"

And when it comes to cars, guns and tools " forgivness is eaiser than Permission"

I believe that they are really easy to find. It's what you do in exchange that gets dicey. :)

The only reason I love the word hubby is because It sounds a lot like the word we use to say "My Love" in my first language (ARABIC)...so for me when i am calling my husband hubby, it is like saying "My Love"...

I can't imagine getting annoyed over a term of endearment. I apologize to those I offend being an avid user of kidlets, hubby and hubster. I even sometimes break down the 5 kidlets into sub groups knows as the bigs and the littles. :o
