By what actronym do you refer to your spouse?

Kieth's mention of his SWMBO reminded me of some of the interesting terms we have for our nearest and dearest.

My partner refers to me as his SO= Significant Other....and I think that could be translated as Senior Officer.biggrinbiggrinbiggrin

What do you call yours? (Reminder: the forum software censors swearwords!)

 Hi Beth,

I call my ex the D*ckhead lol even though it has been over 25 years lol.  The only good thing to come from that marriage was my eldest daughter.

My girls call me Ma as well and the rest of my family including hubby most of the time when he is not being cheeky call me Shell or Shelley lol.

 Mind you though I never degraded him in front of Courtney even though she was only 3 at the time.  He had no contact with her so no great loss and Ray has been a real father to her anyway and he gave her away at her wedding.  Courtney calls the other the sperm donor and that is what he was nothing else to her.

Some girls make the same mistakes over and over again until one day they realise it and then they either stay single or choose wisely the next time with someone that she can spend her whole life with not parts of it.smilesmilesmile

 Hey Beth I wasn't suggesting your girl did sorry if you thought that, it wasn't my intention.

All we as mother's can do is be there for our daughters because their generation don't realise how much they depend on us baby boomer generation.  Both my daughters lean and depend on me so much that is why we are hoping to take our trip so we can finally be on our own lol.

So if a man calls his wife, " 'er Indoors" Does that mean she can call him, " 'im Outdoors" ?
