    I thought bae was a pisstake word that no one actually uses. Until I overheard two teenagers on the train using it over and over in a normal conversation...it is awful!

    Is that not a familiar term between young males in Donegal?

    I had a nosey peek at the phone of a woman in the airport queue last night. She was texting 'Hubbie Eoin'.

    I cringed. I know it's trivial and makes no impact on my life whatsoever :pac:

    Seems reasonable to conclude that either:

    (a) she's a bigamist with at least two husbands, and has to label them Hubbie Eoin, Hubbie Mark, Hubbie James etc. OR

    (b) she's got a terrible memory, and Eoin means so little to her that she has to label him Hubbie Eoin in her phone in case she forgets who he is...

    I see it a lot here and also on certain social media sites where people call the person they are in a relationship with their "other half".
    Anybody else HATE it?? I think it is a bit desperate if I'm totally honest. We are all individuals, I don't get why someone feels the need to use it.
    Recently single (my choice) but if I had been with him for 30 years, I would never, ever refer to him as my "other half"!

    Do you miss Switzer's?

    I actually don't know how to refer to my "other half " to other people. We never married, so not husband. Boyfriend is far too teenager like when we are together 25 yrs with 3 kids. Partner sounds like a business thing, or something out of a cowboy movie. Himself sounds real old fashioned or something. It's a pain in the hole really :(
