Mum or Mom?
 
This is mainly aimed at British and Irish amongst us as it is actually Mom in America..

I got in a little twitter debate with loads of people from the midlands (all the Aston Villa fans of course) and they're all telling me it's MOM. I can't stand ''MOM''

If you had to say either what would it be? (and don't say mother)

Poll coming up

Mum,definately.

Patrick 20-06-2011 09:10 PM

Tbh I don't call her 'Mum' 'Mummy' or 'Mother'.

I call her 'Ma'.
Not in a kind of Spanish 'Ma and Pa' way - It's in a chavy tone, which sucks but I've been use to doing it for years and everyone else does it so you know.


Same goes for the bloke who's jizz made me.
I call him Da'.

Mother and Mum make you sound Posh and Awkward - especially Mother.

Mummy makes you sound 8 Years old.

I called her 'Mum' one time though infront of her friend to act really polite - but it felt awkward, because we don't get on and I quickly reverted back to Ma.

When i want something i say Mother it usually works a treat
