I was talking about this to Mrs Big Dick just earlier this morning.

Is this...woke?

Best asking a Uroligist mate

[reddebs]

As in - My hubby and I take great pleasure in opening this school Garden Fete?

It's exactly that mate yes.  Far too Queenie 😁 👍

Best asking a Uroligist mate

if you are asking a Urologist Urine trouble

[CraigDS]

I've asked my girlfriend and she said she's not arsed.

She said she'd call me much worse if she was on here so can't complain.

[AndyMuller]

It is much better than putting my girlfriends full name on here which will enable the likes of Big Dick Nick to search her socials and slide in her DMs.

thats it isn’t it, I think, ask the girl your with what her preference is and that’s it basically.

[Drinks Sangria]

I've asked my girlfriend and she said she's not arsed.

Same. She's not my wife but she wouldn't be arsed. I often call her 'my missus' because that's what my friendship group refers to their other halves as.

I’m old school mate. I’ll write her a letter.

It's weird when Grandad tries to chat up the younger girl.

[Drinks Sangria]

I’m old school mate. I’ll write her a letter.

But the use of a quill and ink, along with a wax stamp is a seductive act in and of itself. Be wary of this guy Andy.

I actually laughed out loud.

  Enjoyed that.

its " me wife"

leave it to you woolybacks to worry about  ' The' or 'my'

[rob1966]

Right, so I just checked with my wife and she said, well then just call me the slut.

Having had a think, she said she prefers I call her "my wife" rather than "the wife".

She'll still be Manc Twat to me though

[Snail]

Also I constantly refer to my fella as my fella, as he’s my fella.

I’ve got a radical idea.

Does your wife mind being called “the wife”?

If she doesn’t, keep on saying it.

If she does, stop saying it.

No one says “the husband”.

So? Language - both written and spoken - would be quite boring if we insisted that there had to be an equivalent for every such term. They might not say “the husband”, but they probably use their own phrasing. I’d rather they did that then say, “No, you have to say the same things we do”.

Also I constantly refer to my fella as my fella, as he’s my fella.

Perfect example.

[Samie]

Same. She's not my wife but she wouldn't be arsed. I often call her 'my missus' because that's what my friendship group refers to their other halves as.

In the same boat mate.

[Elmo!]

Are we allowed to say "Your wife"? when speaking to other people?

How would I go about asking someone about their spouse?

"Who does the person you are married to support?" is a bit of a mouthful.

I think that's the most sensible approach.

Where do people stand on for example when you're served in a shop you reply "Thanks love (or other similar word)"? I ask because I have a friend from Brazil who when she came to England couldn't work out and was taken aback when people she didn't know were calling her love, sweetheart, darling or something similar.

[WEST HAM PAUL]

I was talking about this to Mrs Big Dick just earlier this morning.

How long have you been living in Thailand Nick ?

[Stubbins]

It's still 'wor lass' up here.

Though I've definitely noticed that it's only old timers who'll still call a female 'pet' as a term of endearment. Unless of course they're bidding someone 'auf wiedersehen' and then it's mandatory.

[zero zero]

Can we not this expression?

It comes across as derogatory and as “othering” women..

Don't think you've thought this one through.

She hasn't got a problem with it (or the missus), so you don't need to feel offended on her behalf.

Cheers

There's a real danger of overanalysing these things. The only thing to ask is, "does this person mean well?" I'd say 99% of the time these are charming and harmless little affectations people use to make their daily interactions warmer.

Your Brazilian friends confusion is what I like most about these little quirks. People who come down to Cornwall are often surprised when someone serving them says something like "cheers me handsome", or for women, "cheers maid". I imagine if I went to Brazil I'd pretty quickly find myself bewildered by one of their equivalent modes of address. It'd be a dull world if that wasn't the case.

[AndyMuller]

All jokes aside I do fall into the trap of calling my girlfriend "me bird" sometimes which is just daft.

[redgriffin73]

I'd prefer "my/the wife" to "my/the missus" and definitely prefer it to "me bird" but I can't say I'm overly arsed. Anyone who uses "hubby" or "hubster" or any of those Mumsnet short forms like DH and DD can get to fuck though.

Edit - hadn't seen the above post!

Hopefully she’ll realise the error of her ways and how much better she can do for herself after Nick dms / writes her a letter and fucks off with him

What do DH and DD stand for?

[CheshireDave]

Glad someone asked!

I think I have seen SO (significant other) before. But not seen DH or DD.

[Elmo!]

What do DH and DD stand for?

Darling Husband, Darling Daughter etc.

Vomit inducing. 

[Sir Capon of Debaser]

What do DH and DD stand for?

Adrian Dalsey, Larry Hillblom without the  Robert Lynn I think or maybe Dukes of Hazard? and DD is something to do with boobs

Covers all the bases then.

Some fella in my local says, I'm going home to the arl ball & chain, it always makes me chuckle.
