Mam's also another one that I hear a lot of my English friends use, but Mom comes from over the pond.

Mom is, for some reason, what they say in the west midlands area. But not east midlands where I once lived.

Speaker to her - Mam
Speaking of her - Mother

'Conor 21-06-2011 09:20 PM

neither.

Mam, Ma or Mother. :love:

Mummy, in an exaggeratedly posh 8 year old manner.

Ninastar 21-06-2011 09:25 PM

thats really cute

Liberty4eva 21-06-2011 09:58 PM

Isn't mom the more logical short/informal way of saying mother, as there actually is an 'o' in mother? How the hell does a 'u' get in there?
