She Who Must Be Obeyed.

The next time you have an abbreviation, just enter it in Google or DuckDuckGo and you will get an answer. Of course, some abbreviations have more than one answer.

SWMBO or risk knots on and about your head and shoulders.

'Officially ' SWMBO is supposed to denote Significant ,Wife ,Mother ,Brother , Other . It is a way of referring to family members without being specific enough to reveal personal .
I think it is a total load of BS myself , along with lots of other acronyms used mainly by ' social influencers '.

She Who Must Be Obeyed.

Funny as !

This moniker originates from the 1887 adventure novel She by H. Rider Haggard, which features a powerful and fearsome queen.

Also used by Rumpole of the Bailey (British comedy) which is where I picked it up.

Amazes me that some people get their skivvies in a bunch over it's use.

Thanks, Not being married and all, my education is sorely lacking.

I hate it the English language is being reduced to abbreviations for the text people. More often than not when I see abbreviations I stop reading and go to something else.

Like "reiterate" being the accepted reaction without something first being repeated the first time which is to "iterate".....then you can reiterate.....course if in certain circles, you are trying to impress folks like you actually know something........and don't.

I like to think I'm more than knee deep in the internet and "text" worlds and the only place I can recall ever seeing SWMBO is on this website. Guess I don't get out enough.

I never have worried about that one as it does not apply to my relationship, we actually have one with both parties being equals, doesn't sound like an equal relationship is a thing for many here

It’s common on a few woodworking forums, another place where geezers hang out.
