My Dad's Canadian, they say mum too, but spell it mom.

Esther.

Always called her mom. Don't know anyone who says mum.

Rhyme

Call her by her first name, some people think it's odd.

*shrug*

Poxyshamrock

Mam.
Most people I know call their's that.

Creamy Goodness

i address my parents by their first name.

i work in a family business during the summer and in front of clients calling them mum or dad just is unprofessional to me. this has also stuck and become habbit at home too.

Nailz

It mam or mammy for me. I think mom sounds too American, mum sounds to English and I reserve ma for YORE MA! Mam & mammy is just grand.

Everybody I know calls theirs that.
And did you call me a culchie?!? I'm from Cavan... I'm not a culchie....

Smellyirishman

Mam or Ma, probably mam most of the time. (Neither a culchie or living at home)

OctavarIan

I say mom, although I've been using mam a lot more recently.

Drift

Mam when talking to her or Mammy when I'm talking about her .... yes I am a culchie and PROUD of it.

Nailz

Well I love being a culchie, even though Cavan isn't culchie . But I don't like it if somebody says culchie as if it's a bad thing .

Creamy Goodness

if cavan isn't culchie what is then?

i thought culchie = anyone not from dublin? no?

Sparky

YORE MA.


Come on, 22 posts in and it has not been said!!!!

Nailz

Well my take on culchie is were there's lots and lots of boggers around the shop and be-jayzus I say Cavan isn't culchie! No boggers around here:o...

Gran Hermano

Ignorance must be bliss :rolleyes:

Nailz

Har har har, be-goodness I said Cavan isn't. I might be culchie, but alot of my friends aren't (apart from the ones living around here).

And did you call me a culchie?!? I'm from Cavan... I'm not a culchie....

Nah. You're not a culchie.
you're the person who picks up the southern fried chicken off the ground that Tony the Greek threw at me, scrapes off the dirt and eats it.

Cavan people are miserable ****s.*


*In all fairness, the only Cavan person I ever met did do that.
It also lent creedence to the fiery Greek reputation.

Gran Hermano

Is it just a coincidence that it's predominantly the wellington-wearing
boardsies who think Mum sounds English and are rather content in
sounding like a toddler with their calls of "Mammy.........." ?

LivingDeadGirl

Mom ftw

Cunny-Funt

Mum is as much english as Mom is American. There's no denying it.

Well you seem to have met the wrong Cavan person my good friend. Anybody that does that deserves a good kick up the hole. And on the other hand I'm quite insulted by saying Cavan people are miserable shíts (what gave you that impresion?). But ah sure fúck it, I'll lave' it go as you seem like a nice chap that goes by experiance which I can't blame. But in all fairness I'm a quite happy boi that enjoys a good laugh and some craic. Same goes with me mates. I don't know how you got this impresion.

I think we're excellent as we're always up for anything that's good buzz! Come up sometime and I'll show you what I mean! I'd introduce you to some friends aswell.

ftw = for the win



on the subject at hand...i'm very much in the camp of

mum = english
mom = american
mam = normal
ma = skanger/when mam doesn't get a reaction

Irish Wolf

How about Momma - she seemed to like that in the video I saw

emeraldstar

foxy06

Dizzyblabla

CathyMoran

Mum/ Mother/ Mummy

The Bollox

mom mostly. maaaammy if I'm looking for a loan or something

Nightwish

Mother. Especially in work, as she's my boss.

jazoo

Ma, but my son calls my wife mam

jor el

I can't believe the amount of people who say Mom, are you all yanks or what? Mom is the wrong answer, the correct one is Mam or Mammy, or possibly Ma if you're shouting.

Irishpimpdude

Ma/Mam... never heard anyone in Dublin say anything else...
