I find “Hubby” to be mildly distateful.
But when I hear someone refer to their spouse as, “Daddy” or “Father”, I must suppress a violent gag reflex…(while at the same time being strangely aroused…hmmm.)
“Boo” just makes me wish I had a pencil to jam in my ear.
But “Significant Other” or “SO” is the worst. Sounds vaguely clinical, like something that might require a soothing ointment or antibiotics. For those times when you can’t quite bring yourself to acknowledge your relationship.
Being a husband I guess i can give my two cents. My wife never calls me that-and I never thought of it until now but it is pretty lame. Now on the opposite spectrum I like the term wifey as i am a fan of her site and movies.
NicNic,
Wow, for someone who believes their time to be soooooooooo precious, you’ve already posted three (count ‘em: 3) times in this thread! Hot damn, I bet you could’ve spent that time working in a soup kitchen or even saving the whales! Think of how many whales’ lives could’ve been saved in the last few hours alone if only you had never even clicked on this thread to begin with (knowing full well that it was a thread about something that was not life-or-death serious)! Perhaps 3, or 5, or 6 or even . . . dozens!!
Take a lesson, everyone: From now on there is to be no fun had around here! No light-hearted banter, no time-wasting talk, no rants, no complaints about little things, or even people who curl in the squat rack. Get off your asses and run to your nearest soup kitchens!!! Heartless jackasses!!!
Now back to my original point . . . Nothing on earth is more stomach-turning than the use of the sorry excuse for a word, “hubby.” Did I mention that yet?
WOW what an incredibly controversial topic!!!
I hate the term myself. It doesn’t grate me like it does you. It does affect my opinion of the person(s) using it. As in “that couple is trying too hard to convince me they like each other”.
Now back to the rest of life…

VOMIT! that’s just wrong!
I have used ‘hubby’ because it’s shorter than typing out husband. Every other message board I’m on uses DH (dear or dumb husband - depends on the situation! lol) or SO (significant Other).
I noticed nobody here (that I’ve seen) uses those abbreviations, so I haven’t.
Can we please ban the use of this phrase: “I want to gain muscle and lose fat at the same time.”?
And also, “I just want to tone.”
you are right. i’ve wasted too much time on this thread. i just asked myself if it was worth it… the answer was hell no. it was a idiotic topic to begin with. me out!
WOW, that’s FOUR posts in this thread for NicNic!
You’re out, but I’m staying put! Whales, rainforests and soup kitchens be damned!

I must concur, although she really needs to work on her acting during the grand finales.

Husband sounds too rigid, you can’t use his name if no one knows it, and every other term is just as annoying in its own way. You can’t win.
For me the very worst one is when someone says “partner”, it always makes me wonder if the person is gay. I had a high school teacher who was very effeminate and said “partner” all the time. I was sure he was gay but it turns out he was just very modern.
Man I should get some work done, I’m such a time waster.
I like this topic. Why?..well some of the things Damici has said have been pretty friggen funny if you ask me
dl- NOW TO THOSE WHALES and SOUP KITCHES! lol
This says it all.
Nate, Nate, Nate! You disappoint me! Surely, I thought, you’d understand! It’s not the thread that’s gay, it’s the use of the word – wait for it – “Hubby!”

Hubby = gay?
I prefer to use “My High Lord of the Meat Dagger”.

That’s a logical fallacy.
Please tell me you use that in front of other people.
