When I did study Oxford English, I never came across the word Hubby. But it is showing up more and more on Blogger. So I did investigate its search ranking on the Internet and the ratio versus Husband is quite surprising. Let us have a look at those facts:
Hubby showed about 78,400,000 results...
Husband showed about 794,000,000 results or in short over TEN TIMES AS MUCH!
The Oxford Dictionaries did not list 'hubby'... it refers to British & World English.
As for me personally, I will continue do refer to my Pieter as Husband. What is YOUR take on this? Are you adapting to Hubby or sticking with (your) Husband? If using Hubby; how long have you used that definition? LOVE to hear from you - worldwide.
