    It can't be wussy, because I say "Mum" too. That would imply I have wussy tendencies, an absurdly false notion!

    to her face or behind her back?

    depends on my mood...:)

    usually its mum, but i like to mix it up a bit sometimes and call her mammy or bee-atch. keeps things fresh. she knows i mean it in the most affectionate way possible.

    she signs text messages mom tho. dunno why. none of us call her that.:dunno:

    I call her mum. As far as I know, "mom" is an American term, but I don't like to hearit being said, for some odd reason, lol


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,972 ✭✭✭SheroN


    mum - english toss expression.
    mom - american toss expression.
    mam - TBH.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,592 ✭✭✭Ro: maaan!

    We all call her mum, but when she sends texts she signs them mom too. I wonder why they do that? Probably some big big conspiracy directed by America to make us talk like them:eek:

    Agreed.

    Mam or Mammy. Sometimes Mama.

    NEVER mum - she would deck me.
