It makes women sound like shrews.
Agreed, we should all start using our wife's real names when dealing with a bunch of strangers onlineDown with SWMBO, indeed!
I was going to say "don't get me started" but... you got me started.
It rankles me the same as the expression, "The wife."
The other thing I think of when I read or hear the expression is that those who use it are in some kind of an odd relationship where they can't go buy and ounce of hops without permission from "The wife".
There. I said it. It's offensive to women and it's offensive to those who use it.
apparently.Has world has lost it's sense of humor?
She could be a Yooper-esque dominatrix who'll electroshock my balls if I don't do what she says.
Meh. I don't use SWMBO. I use wife. But I do use RDWHAHB. But I've been thinking about changing that up with something easier, like:
CHILL
I mean, for all y'all know, I really DO have to obey the_Wife. She could be a Yooper-esque dominatrix who'll electroshock my balls if I don't do what she says. Who are you all to judge?

How is it offensive to women?
He Who Provides The Sperm.
Ain't that tough to figure out!
Seriously. It's not like you're calling her the grumpy old *****. Then you'd really get one of those Yooper style beatings.
(grumpy old *****! grumpy old *****! grumpy old *****!)
Guess it really sucks if you like to brew but can't abide the hobby's lexicon.
Some would argue that the abbreviations in question are more of the forum's lexicon not so much the hobby's.
I.... but I've found that all of the homebrew forums call our ladies SWMBO.......]
Diaicylf!
In fairness, while the_Wife has no objection to "SWMBO," I'm thinking she might not appreciate "She Who Must Be Possessed."
Has world has lost it's sense of humor?
How about being honest and telling the truth? Yes Bozo, you pitched at 90f, your beer is gonna suck, not *******. Or, I hope a glass shard imbeds itself in your face because you bottled at .030 instead of listening to sound advice, not *******. Stop effing relaxing and actually plan out a brew day and execute your plan!!!
I feel much better now.

Now i really wonder what DIAICYLF stand for
