That's the thing. It's not funny at all. It's not wry. It's dork humor.

I think having a sense of humor is important. SWMBO is not an offensive term at all, as we all know it's tongue in check.
It goes along with the old phrase: "Happy wife, happy life". I don't think anybody in the world believes that the only key to happiness is to make his wife happy. But.........it never hurts to try!
because they know that in order to be able to partake in their hobby they must obey.
If we end SWMBO, what should I tell Bob to call me from now on?
It's like 10,000 spoons, when all you need is a knife!
That's the thing. It's not funny at all. It's not wry. It's dork humor.
There's nothing subtle or difficult to get about it. The Office (UK) and Extras are two of my favorite shows of all time. This isn't subtle at all, it's lame.
Keep using it, if you want, but it isn't funny.
I don't like it, so I don't use it.
But really, Who the hell cares?
Laugh the Out Fragging Loud? What kind of sentence is that!?
wow. 19 years of humorless bliss....
Just kidding - really.
Obviously, different folks have different senses of humor. Wry is not one of yours, but is fairly common, which is why so many of us are okay with SWMBO.
Wry understands that SWMBO is tongue in cheek, not serious, maybe even funnier when stated seriously...
Wry is sarcasm that is not mean-spirited at all, but appreciated in good company. the dictionary calls us distorted, perverse in that the meanings we take are distorted from the original intent of the word. SWMBO is a perfect example. We don't take it as a directive, only as a reference to our significant other.
I'm guessing British humor leaves you scratching your head - but to each his own.

Prime example of why the phrase is so hated.

You people need to find some better **** to ***** about....seriously.
Why is the use despicable here? I'm simply curious, not trying to start a fight or anything.
I think you're missing the point of using the term SWMBO, which has always seemed to be tongue in cheek from my POV.I agree, stop whining how your wife controls your life on a beer brewing forum.
Because it always seems to be used in the context of an emasculated homebrewer bemoaning the fact that his wife is running the household. Not very becoming.

Do you feel the same way about her at parties?
Good Guy Greg sees others using acronyms... Shrugs it off.
