Cruisin' Chick Posted March 3, 2015 #4 Share Posted March 3, 2015 Among the "relative" terms, there's "SIL" which can be confusing -- is someone referring to their sister-in-law or son-in-law Sometimes you can tell from the context, but sometimes not.

cb at sea Posted March 4, 2015 #5 Share Posted March 4, 2015 And reallly, who cares? Just write what you want to say! Brother in law...Mom...kid...etc... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cruisin' Chick Posted March 4, 2015 #6 Share Posted March 4, 2015 And reallly, who cares? Just write what you want to say! Brother in law...Mom...kid...etc... I use "hubby" and "the girl." On one trip report I did, a couple of years ago, somebody was complaining about calling my daughter "the girl." Somebody who met my daughter on a cruise posted that both my hubby and I would call her "the girl," as in "we'll check with the girl if she wants to see the show..." etc. and that this guy should just mind his own business.:rolleyes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GUT2407 Posted March 4, 2015 #7 Share Posted March 4, 2015 I often have people say I'll tell her you said that, when I say something about herself [even that i call her herself] what happens though is when they do she says "Yeah so". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A well known legal programme had the male lead refer to his wife as 'She who must be obeyed' I had a colleague, in the same profession as said character, whose wife didn't drive and who he referred to as "She who must be conveyed".

maxiesgrandma Posted March 4, 2015 #11 Share Posted March 4, 2015 We have always affectionately referred to our daughter as "the girl" and our son as "the boy". They, in turn, have always referred to us as "the parental units". :rolleyes: Cannot believe someone took offense to your phrasing in your report, Cruisin' Chick!!!!

Rare ontheweb Posted March 4, 2015 #12 Share Posted March 4, 2015 Dear Husband. Here's a list. I was under the impression that the D in all those acronyms stood for Darling, not Dear. I guess there is really not that much of a difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Parental units" was typically shortened to "rents" by my offspring" --- the "gals" and the "lads". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
