But it's internet lingo. I don't say "L-O-L" when I find something funny "offline", I laugh. I don't turn my head sideways to stick my head out, but I type :-P on my PC. I only call my OH "OH" online and I'm sure many people only use DS, DD, etc. on forums and so on too, not literally calling them "dear" all the time.

I do It's sneaked its way into my actually offline vocabulary >.<

Hey! I use 'hubby' all the time! My friends think it's cute..... as do I! I always refer to my lovely hubby.

P.S. If you need help with ba'er, give me a call.

Of course. It means:

'My husband could hit your husband until he's unconscious without any difficulty'

Incidentally 'ba'er' is 'batter' with the dropped t's.

A glottal stop. :cool:

Or in other words, a glo'al stop.

I've heard that expression before - I think the person who used it was from Northumbria.

If the area between Newcastle and Carlisle is Northumbria, then that sounds right!

Jeezo, have you read the Wiki description of glottal stop? Can't understand a word of it.

I agree, hubby is also quite dire - although not as bad as OH.

However; this thread has helped me to overcome my disdain. I knew it would help to post my feelings on the subject (The bottle of baileys also helped)

I thought it was a "glo'al storp".

At least, that is how my ex pronounced it.
