Not sure if this has been addressed previously ....
but I absolutely HATE this word !
By all means "husband", or "my other half", or etc etc etc
... but PLEASE girls ..... NOT THIS !
Not sure how other guys react to it .... maybe we should have a
vote & see if there's a consensus to ban it from entering at immigration
control.
... where does it come from, its history ? .... another Filipino Americanizm ?
If so, let it stay there
Thoughts ? reactions ?
Don't you think you are over reacting a wee bit...???
I like referring to my husband as hubby

to loved and beloved is the greatest joy on earth...
Calling my husband hubby and he calls me wiffie
tiger
tigress
♥♥♥♥Being deeply loved by someone gives you strength, While loving someone deeply gives you courage♥♥♥♥.
sounds just right tigress
to loved and beloved is the greatest joy on earth...
Ladies ...
Many, many Filipino girls use the expression ..... so I guess lots of you
like to say it / use it.
I'm more interested if I'm the only guy who finds it annoying, irritating,
grating, ..... if fact, yes, I HATE it !
by all means ... "darling", "stingy ######", "babes", "sweetheart", "boring sod" (as and when appropriate) etc etc
..... but please NOT the "H" word.
But I also calls him darling, stingy (tightwad), boring sod etc. depending on what mood I'm inOriginally Posted by Bluebirdjones

Hubby for husband
Wifey for wife
" The people who mean something to your life are not rated "the best" don't have the most money, haven't won the greatest prizes....
They are the ones who care about you, take care of you, those who, no matter what, stay close by... "
Yes thats right...Anything with that word?
In my opinion Hubby is better than
Darling, Babes, Sweetheart, hon are some words of endearment
But
Stingy and ###### are words of hatred
They are antonyms
" The people who mean something to your life are not rated "the best" don't have the most money, haven't won the greatest prizes....
They are the ones who care about you, take care of you, those who, no matter what, stay close by... "
Agree, these words are not part of endearment.Darling, Babes, Sweetheart, hon are some words of endearment
But
Stingy and ##### are words of hatred
They are antonyms
well,bluebirdjones its up to u if u hated the word HUBBY.all pilipina are not the same.some likes call thier husband 'HUBBY'[like me]and some hated to call thier husbands 'HUBBY'[like you]
And whose Hubby are you, then....????
..... you,ve seen my various posts,
and might remember that I'm awaiting on the British Embassy to
process my fiancee's visa.
... so at present, I'm nobody's "H*££y"
And never intend to be.
... Yes, I'll very happily be her husband.... but will never ever
respond or acknowlege that other word
And Re; "stingy #####", I did actually state "as and when appropriate
etc " .... certainly never referred or inferrred to them as terms of endearment
i like referring to my man as hubby.what's wrong with that?(big deal)

hu'bby n. (colloq.) Husband
Just don't know with other dictionaries if they have that word.
What dictionary are you using Mr Bluebirdjones?? Please share with us so we also have an idea why this word is somewhat irritating to the ears of some.
You're waiting for the processing of your fiancee visa and i understand at present you're nobody's hubby (yes that is clear)
and never intend to be? I'm confused...If you get married then you will be her husband which is hubby in the dictionary....

Of course it’s in a dictionary ! …. That’s not in dispute.
And yes, it’s a colloquialism of husband.
But if you want to be pedantic … strangely it doesn’t appear in
Roget’s Thesaurus of Synonyms & Antonyms
OK, so why I hate it ?
… basically because it’s a word to use in company, and it sounds demeaning.
Eg
When you get home from work, or meet your wife at the station, she doesn’t say “Hello Hubby” (at least I’d like to think so). She’s more likely to say, on one-on-one contact, “Hello darling (babe) (sweetheart) (honey) (etc etc ) “
…. But in company, she might introduce you to friends, family, colleagues as “This is my hubby”.
To me that conjures up visions of some guy being totally subservient to his wife, trailing behind her, not daring to raise his voice, or voice his opinions, someone who is totally unsure of his role in the relationship, a “joke”.
… someone sitting in his chair in his slippers, in front of the TV, his only “contribution” is to say “Yes dear”, “Of course dear”, “You’re quite right dear”,
A successful relationship is based on mutual respect, loyalty, honesty, and a partnership where BOTH are equal…….. to me the word H*££Y does NOT rely this,
To me it’s demeaning, degrading…… reflecting someone who’s secondary in the relationship, the weaker partner, the “tolerated” party.
That’s it !
Agree or not …… at least I’m prepared to voice my opinion.

oooopppsss am not saying anything Boss
to loved and beloved is the greatest joy on earth...
Boss, so sorry about our post but we just only qoute him on what he said. Why it seems, that the word HUBBY is such a big deal to him.
yes,you are the only one find it annoying lol,cause if hubby doesnt like it,he will say "dont call me on that" yes you are a bit of over reacting hehehe,spare that words to us filipina lol
I have to say, I AGREE with the sentiments expressed by Bluebirdjones. I don't particularly like the expression either - although perhaps not quite so much as I dislike hearing men referring to their wives as "the wife" ... as though they were some sort of *commodity. Talking of *which, it makes my teeth grind equally when people call presents 'prezzies"! Why must the British (Scots included) demean the use of their native tongue?
HUBBY, Hubby, hUBBY, hUbBy, HuBbY, hUBBy etc. etc...I like it.
my husband and i call each other mahal
And my hubby got me down as his missis
