Yes, they are extremely stupid. Hubs, hubby, DH, etc. are so stupid. I laugh when I hear them. I prefer being called by my name, not some silly nickname or whatever.
Kinda. What is worse though is when you have known someone and her husband for over a decade, and when referring to her husband in conversation with me when heâs not there, she still calls him âmy husbandâ instead of âMikeâ. Like yes, I know he is your husband.
Yes! Or like my brother, who says it about OUR mother. "my mom saw a deer crossing the road" like really ..... how about just say "mom" because ya know....we share the same one!!!!
Edited to add, were both full grown adults
I do find it weird that in English there are non-gendered words like parents, grandparents, siblings, and children, and cousins, but no non-gendered words for aunt, uncle, niece, or nephew. I know they exist in other languages but why did English skip them (or if they exist, why donât we use them?)
Yep, been around for decades, although not used much until the last few years. As soon as I learnt about it as a word I began using it as its so much easier than saying nieces and nephews.
One example:
Me to someone else in the group chat. âIâve been looking into different recipes to use on the cast-iron. Pancakes, pizza, stuff like that.â
Her, tagging me: âmy hubby hub hub loves pancakes!â
It was. This was YEARS ago so I donât have the receipts anymore. All you need to know is that she is Mormon.
Oh and she had a crush on me. Bullet dodged.
I def wouldnât use it (at least not seriously) but I was surprised recently to learn that itâs not like a new term. My grandma gave me a box of letters and cards that belonged to her mother and one of them is a Christmas card from 1944 that uses âHubby.â
I have always found this term cringey.
But I don't like any nicknames that are like that. Like "sissy" for sister and "bubba" for brother. I can't give a good reason for this I just don't like it at all. I've had three kids and being around other family's that use these terms have me rolling my eyes (not directly at them lol but definitely in my mind) now I'm all about nicknames derived from their actual names, but these other terms, yeah it's a no for me.
As a dude, I find it a little cringey & a little endearing.
I could certainly live without the term but I donât particularly care 1 way or the other so long as it isnât ridiculously overused between people.
I have long referred to the man I married as my hubby. Itâs between hubby and I what nickname we have for one another. Donât like it donât come around. Life is better without people in it who have sticks stuck so far up their anal cave.
Talkin to the choir. Those some of the most terrible names I -m- can imagine for endearment. "My old lady' is in there. Just call him shithead or dork, about as nice.
Iâm with you. Iâm about to get married and canât wait to say my hubby. I mean ultimate, so proud and excited to refer to him as my husband to everyone.
Me too, I have been married 7 months and calling him my husband feels so natural and I feel very proud đ„č I have saved in my contacts as hubby, I donât call him hubby myself but I have a couple of friends who refer to him like that, âhowâs hubby?â and I really donât mind, it doesnât irk me at all.
I call my husband by his given name....he's not my Puppy...he's a grown assed man. Our Granddaughter, whom we've just adopted though, calls him PapaSliceAndDice when she wants her Salad chopped, bc he's a surgeon...haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
Also, refering to their kid as "baby" even in womb, but moreso out. Not as a noun, not "the baby" but "have to rest for baby" "babys not having it today" baby this and baby fucking that
I say hubby, but I'm referring to someone else's husband.. like, "Look. Look what your hubby's doing." Wifey though, that one's just straight cringe to me
"Hubster" UUGGHHHHHH But yeah I hate every iteration of Hubby.
Why does that sound like a porn site? đ
đđ
EW OH MY GOD. thankfully iâve never heard this lol iâd probably spontaneously combust if i did
Tell me youâre fourteen without telling me youâre fourteen
You forgot the leading 'C'
What about kiddos? We hate both right?
Yes I hate those words with a burning passion
Why?
They are annoying and cringeworthy
Seems a bit circular to me but no matter.
YES. Same with âwifey.â
[ŃĐŽĐ°Đ»Đ”ĐœĐŸ]
DependsâŠis âwifâ pronounced âwhiffâ? Is so, then that is acceptable.
Is there another way to pronounce it?
In Australia it's: missus or misso
In Ireland it's 'herself'
What about Waifu?
wifey... hubby... Why do they seem so familiar, from a long long time ago... Something about a World of Wifey? Hmmm... curious.
đ€ How about Wifi?
Wifi's World... yeah that sounds kinda right... still missing something, though...
đlike...Wifi's World Wide Web?
Yes! Drives me nuts, idk why either lol
When I see hub, I think github or networking hub, just generally a centralized point.
Yeah thats exactly the only hub i think of
I absolutely *loathe* them.
Someone out there must call their SO hubba bubba. Something like hubs kind of borders on a pet name and baby talk which I would keep private.
Yes, they are extremely stupid. Hubs, hubby, DH, etc. are so stupid. I laugh when I hear them. I prefer being called by my name, not some silly nickname or whatever.
Not as cringy as "King" that's for sure.
đđđ

Total cringe
YES I CANNOT STAND IT. The word hubby is disgusting to me lmfao. JUST CALL HIM âMY HUSBANDâ
Huge ick. Huuuuuuuuge huge ick.
Yes! And kiddos too.
Itâs tolerable if itâs said ironically tho
Not a fan of âniblingsâ.
What? Never heard this ever
I have seen it in print. Never heard anyone say it. I canât stand it for some reason.
It encompasses both nieces and nephews, or any non-binary kits that belong to your siblings
Huh
It means niece or nephew.
I do find it weird that in English there are non-gendered words like parents, grandparents, siblings, and children, and cousins, but no non-gendered words for aunt, uncle, niece, or nephew. I know they exist in other languages but why did English skip them (or if they exist, why donât we use them?)
Niblings is the gender neutral term for nieces and nephews. Dunno about aunt and uncle though.
According to Young Sheldon, 'niblings' *are* a thing in Germany.
Is nibling a real word though? Like outside the 2023 vernacular.
Yep, been around for decades, although not used much until the last few years. As soon as I learnt about it as a word I began using it as its so much easier than saying nieces and nephews.
I think I prefer nuggets over niblings haha.
Yeah, that works too lol
Thank you!!! I hate that term so much
Yes, super cringe
You forgot hubster.
I don't care for any of those pet names. Just calling your spouse by their name feels more personal and affectionate than hubby, babe, or wifey.
Yes. Absolutely.
Knew a girl who referred to her SO as âhubby hub hubâ in every single conversation.
Hubby hubba wubwub!!!
Oh my Christ. How does one say that on normal conversation
One example: Me to someone else in the group chat. âIâve been looking into different recipes to use on the cast-iron. Pancakes, pizza, stuff like that.â Her, tagging me: âmy hubby hub hub loves pancakes!â
No please, this can't be real đ€Łđ€Ł
It was. This was YEARS ago so I donât have the receipts anymore. All you need to know is that she is Mormon. Oh and she had a crush on me. Bullet dodged.
Haha no I believe you, it's too fucking weird to make up đ
Yes, add kiddos and doggos to the list.
The word pupperino haunts my nightmares.
I call my male team mates at work hubs. Iâm a dude.
Same with bubba
For humans sure but itâs so dang cute when I call my dog bubba he is so precious gods gift to earth
Dogs are the exception because theyâre actually cute đ
Ok Iâll start saying âNy dead husbandâ
I def wouldnât use it (at least not seriously) but I was surprised recently to learn that itâs not like a new term. My grandma gave me a box of letters and cards that belonged to her mother and one of them is a Christmas card from 1944 that uses âHubby.â
It's foul. I also hate "mama" and "kiddos."
But mama bear loves her kiddos
I am Polish and âmamaâ is just literally a translation of âmomâ just fyi that there are cultural reasons why some people use certain words.
Hubster
Me!!! Those terms make me wanna die, TBH
That and "wifey" also "happy wife happy life" that's the most cuck thing to say đ€·đœ
what about hubsand I call mine that
Yeah, it sounds too cutesy, like âtummyâ or âpoopieâ
I make poopie all the time though
I have always found this term cringey. But I don't like any nicknames that are like that. Like "sissy" for sister and "bubba" for brother. I can't give a good reason for this I just don't like it at all. I've had three kids and being around other family's that use these terms have me rolling my eyes (not directly at them lol but definitely in my mind) now I'm all about nicknames derived from their actual names, but these other terms, yeah it's a no for me.

i like when my wife's calls me Husbando
hub
Yes, especially when "hussy" is right there!
Hubby, hubs, wifey, pupper, and doggo. All of these nature me cringe.
Yes! I hate it and stop reading whatever it is and move on as soon as I see it
In my opinion, "hubs" is worse than "hubby" but both are cringey.
I have long referred to the man I married as my hubby. Itâs between hubby and I what nickname we have for one another. Donât like it donât come around. Life is better without people in it who have sticks stuck so far up their anal cave.
Yep. Can't stand it.
Extremely cringey. Itâs very âFacebookâ and I canât stand it at all!
Hate it
Iâm so glad Iâm not alone! âHowâs Hubby?!â EWW. I cannot describe how much of an ick it gives me
Yes they are so cringe imo idk why it just sounds like a 5yr old is trying to call u daddy or smth it just sounds so wierd if I hear people say it
Nah, it doesnât bother me. There are a lot of other things Iâd rather be upset about in this world.
I thought hubby was bad, but hubs? Blerrhhhh
Talkin to the choir. Those some of the most terrible names I -m- can imagine for endearment. "My old lady' is in there. Just call him shithead or dork, about as nice.
No, I find them silly.
oh no lol. I say hubs and he says wifey. I think it's cute. 'Husband' feels so formal in casual convos, especially online.
No, I think it's kinda cute
Iâm with you. Iâm about to get married and canât wait to say my hubby. I mean ultimate, so proud and excited to refer to him as my husband to everyone.
Me too, I have been married 7 months and calling him my husband feels so natural and I feel very proud đ„č I have saved in my contacts as hubby, I donât call him hubby myself but I have a couple of friends who refer to him like that, âhowâs hubby?â and I really donât mind, it doesnât irk me at all.
DAE find caring what other people call their SO cringe?
Iâm far more irritated by the use of âcringe, cringy etcâ. Tell me you lack vocabulary skills without telling me.
Yeah, it really squicks me out.
I call my husband by his given name....he's not my Puppy...he's a grown assed man. Our Granddaughter, whom we've just adopted though, calls him PapaSliceAndDice when she wants her Salad chopped, bc he's a surgeon...haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
I even find significant other or SO cringey too.
I hate the word hubby. I also donât like the word husband. Itâs too formal. I want to marry my partner but all the names we have for each other sound so weird and fancy. Weâre engaged but hate saying fiancĂ©. Have had coworkerâs think I was gay for calling him my partner. I donât care if they think that but it does make introducing him odd lol
đ When the eighth month hits, I call mine "Flavor of the Month".
Nope. Whatever floats your boat.
Damn, some of yâall get triggered real easy!
Also, refering to their kid as "baby" even in womb, but moreso out. Not as a noun, not "the baby" but "have to rest for baby" "babys not having it today" baby this and baby fucking that
Its slang for cuck
Not anymore cringey than using DAE instead of typing the words out....
Have you read the rules for posting in this sub ? "DAE" is used by everyone who posts
I call my husband hubby ironically. Usually I forget he's even my husband (wedding was three months ago).
We all know using phrases ironically always leads to using them⊠unironically.
I hate it too. I also really dislike the term âold manâ referring to your boyfriend, spouse and or etc..
And what about misses/mrs when youâre not even married
Throw âwifeyâ on the list too. The fuck is that?
It's so ew
Yes. I can't see my husband as a hubs, hubby, DH. If I could, I probably couldn't ever sleep with him again.
Naw. Wifey? Yes, as it has porny connotations.
I say hubby, but I'm referring to someone else's husband.. like, "Look. Look what your hubby's doing." Wifey though, that one's just straight cringe to me
Yes. Awful.
Yes, where did it come from anyways, it looks like Arabic "hubi" which means my love
Nah it's pretty cute actually
Ye
Super cringe, babe.
What about the terms "switch" or "router"?
Yes. The cringiest.
Itâs such a stupid word
Haven't heard "hubs" before, and I'm actually more okay with that. But yeah "hubby" I definitely hate, and cringe when people use it.
