Yeah. I don't really like it either. Especially "Pooky" and "Sweetcheeks." Argh!
I don't understand how this is ignorant. Its like calling a dog "doggy". Its still a variation of the word its not any more ignorant than just using the term dog. Its a cute way of saying Husband or Wife and I don't think everyone always understands it but I don't see why their happiness should bother you so much.
Very politically incorrect. The politically correct term is , "Spousie".
I don't think I would call my significant other hubby directly, to me those terms are more of a label than necessarily nicknames. For example I wouldn't say "hubby can we go out" I would use that term to say "going out with my hubby" idk it seems like another overused word, it gets annoying hah
What makes the term "wifey" and "hubby" ignorant?
Do you just use the word ignorant to make yourself seem more intelligent than you actually are? Because I'd say that's more annoying than anyone saying "wifey" or "hubby".
If I had a wife, I wouldn't call her wifey, nor would I like being called hubby. Heck, I'd settle for being called babycakes before hubby!
I absolutely despise names like that.. Probably because I hate getting too close to someone emotionally. I also HATE the nickname honey. Something about it just raises goosebumps on my arms.
How is it ignorant? It's a nickname. Although some nicknames are annoying. I got dubbed "Mrs. Surnameypoo" and I don't like it much. But wifey isn't much better. And it sounds weird to call my husband by his actual name. It's usually babe, baby, love, pooks, sweetie, honey, etc.
My parents were "wifey" and "hubbles" in Valentines cards when I was a kid. Now they don't even use each other's forenames. It's just "you". It's more efficient, but is it really better or less ignorant?
