lateral thinking required - SWMBO alternative?

[ChattingLil]

OK, Not having read Rumpole - and being a touch too young to have watched the TV programmes, I'd never heard of SWMBO until I joined YBW.com. It was one of my first questions to ask!

Ever since, I've been racking my brains to come up with the equvalent for MALE significant others of female boat owners. As you know, Marc is not that keen and it is very definitely my thing - so any ideas as to what us wimmin folk can call our SI's - I can tell you one thing - it is NOT going to be HWMBO - AS IF!!

HWWLTBOBRI - He Who Would Like To Be Obeyed But Rarely Is

Well...that is how SWMBO refers to me!!

Actually, the ladies here have used HWMO.

He Who Must Obey.


Seems to work for them - they all have devoted husbands who can cook as well as being a bit boaty.

Master?

 

[ChattingLil]

hmm, you guys are just SO funny....

I think Jim has it - HWMO sounds pretty right to me. Have to say - haven't seen it used elsewhere yet, but I do like it!
