But howmany of you know where it comes from?
The first use of swmbo was in the serialized novel "She" (w** m*** b* o*****) by H. Rider Haggard published between October 1886 to January 1887....IIRC it is part of the Alan Quartermain novels...Remember the movie
King Solomon's Mine This is part of the series.
And also the Sean Connery Character in the
League of Extraordinary Gentlemen.
You can read the novel online it looks like...
Bibliomania: Free Online Literature and Study Guides
And Ursula Andres made a damn fine looking one in the 1966 film version.

My answer is get the **** over it...it's a term of endearment, and meant to be fun...(AND this is from a guy who spent a good part of the 90's leading men's workshops & retreats along side the likes of Robert Bly, James Hillman and Michael Meade, produced and co-hosted a radio show on men's issues, and published several articles on the subject a few which were reprinted on menweb
http://www.menweb.org/. If I can handle it, then the rest of you should just suck it up, or 'll beat you with my drum) *wink*
