I notice that a lot of "guys" here refer to their wives as SWMBO (SheWho Must Be Obeyed). That's interesting. What's up with that? I'venever seen it anywhere else.I've never seen so many "guys" proudly pretending that they are pussywhipped. I'm wondering if this might be a case of double reversepsychology: the "guy" pretends that he's pussy whipped in the hopethat people will think that he wouldn't be "pretending" if it were so.But in actually it is indeed so.

When it is appropriate I use "SWMBO'd". I think you will find it is common practice on many user groups. Generally, at this establishment, it is probably 6 of this and half a dozen of the other. However, there are times when I feel that it is circumspect to obey SWMBO'd!

How many SWMBOs out there?

There's the ancient joke about the guy who is all exited telling someone how he only get "it" once a year. The friend asks why he is so proud and excited to share this. Guy says "Tonight's the night!".

Hmmm, my DH looks at any home improvement project and says, "Ewww, looks like work" and backs away. I call him, "He Who Must Be Ignored", or HWMBI (hoo-imbi) when I'm deciding what needs to be done to the house. He neither pays for it nor does any of the work. Why should I care what he thinks? Answer: I don't :)
