I’ve been on the forum a couple years now and this is driving me crazy. I give up. I quickly figured out who this refers to, but I can’t decipher the acronym for anything. Help!

So yeah, watch out for her. 
Awesome. How appropriate.

Thanks. To be honest, I’d figured out just about all those other acronyms. It was also apparent that SWMBO was roughly equal to ‘wife’. I just could not come up with any translation that made sense.
You’ll probably find me bitching about that acronym somewhere on here or American Homebrewers Association forum… :roll:
Took me a while to figure it out too, stupid acronyms!

I see it as being the same connotation as “the ole ball and chain”. I knows it’s playful and sarcastic, but there’s just something that bothers me about it.

Maybe the implication of obedience. I would never refer to my wife as that.
Wanna let us in on some of those rants…?
It was a favorite saying of Rumpole (of the bailey) on BBC America.
