Every dog has his dog - no worries but let see how misfit and mocked you will be in Pakistan :)
well if i am, i expect him to correct me and defend me like i did him. otherwise i coudlve let the woman think he was being rude....owever i quickly ran over and explained what he meant...by the way he was taking about a pacifier.....to sooth the baby, i hope everyone knows what it means...but in the confusion i said teat...anywayyyyyy...
Nadz, seriously do listen, this is only for your good. Please never never embarrass your husband in front of anyone else, be those outsiders or family! You will bruise his ego and he will develop resentment. You should be like a team in front of others.
are you thick? how thick? can u read? how good are you at reading? do you understand english?if so, how much?, where did i say i dont respect him, where did i say i let him get embarrassed, or where did i embarrass him…i have taught him, i have told him not to say it, i said this in my OP, that ive told him before not to say it, as its rude here, however he thinks im joking/or making it up..etc and so didnt listen on that count…and yes it was embarrassing as i had to run over and defend him, as she was looked like shewas about to call security
by the way, wheres everyone elses stories..jeezzzzzz my story was just a starter, NOT the issue itself....why are people so thick here and dont actually read the question, did i mention my issue with the nipple/teats was AN ISSUE THAT HAD TO BE DISCUSSED AND WAS IT A PROBLEM..no it was slightly embarrassing, and the question asks for people to add theirs...bloody hell..
I don't think it is that big a deal. My daddy sometimes says funny things, and my mum just usually corrects him or whatever, but everyone takes it light-heartedly. There is a bit of a respect thing with it I guess though, as for me even if it is hilarious, we may laugh about it at home, but there and then just brush it over as to keep his respect, if that makes sense.
Aww Nadz, you and your husband must keep each other entertained all the time!
I think the point is that it's good to laugh with everyone but not AT someone...which is the case here. You may not have meant it, but you have made fun of your husband's inability to speak English correctly.
A husband and wife are like each others clothing...you can't get closer than that. It means you should protect and look out for each other. Also, put yourself in his shoes...would you like it if you were laughed at by others cos he chose to share an embarrassing moment of your own?
Food for thought.
Forget about spouse, I myself use the term “rubber” sometimes instead of “Eraser” and imagine me raising my volume in dollarama/dollartree
**“xxxxxx (begum name) buy lots of rubbers we will need a lot in summer vacations” **
(pointing towards the fact that my 2 kids will lose/destroy many “rubbers” during their 2 month long vacations)
PS: Rubber is common name for condom if you dont know
PS2: It should not be embarrassing for anyone. There are certain things that people can not fix and there is nothing wrong about it. Even to date George Bush can not say “nuclear proliferation” …just search youtube on this

Oh please, can we not overly victimize her husband for sake of it?
He's her husband, he's probably more aware and used to of her humour and mannerisim than all of us. For all you know, he must've shrugged off his shoulders and didn't give a hoot. Besides, I don't understansd why people making it seem as if she teamed up with the shopkeeper start 'insulting' her husband? All I'm getting is that the shopkeer appeared kinda shocked by the comment so nadz made a light hearted comment to ease her off. I really doubt if herher hunsband is a miserble snob who's so full of himself with zero sense of humour, what he feels and should've felt is none of our concern.
Nadz I really think you are such a colourful person, and I'm sure your husband is well aware and happy with that. You, by far makes the most interesting threads here.

I didn't say she teamed up with the store attendant...Nadz tried to clear the misunderstanding. But bringing the incident here wasn't necessary...I think the intention was to have a good laugh. But is it right to laugh at someone's inability...especially your spouse's?
Sorry, Nadz. I don't mean to put you down...it was a funny incident but I hope you see the other side too.

Err inability? What inability? People with bit of travelling experience can all relate to such embarrassing speech errors. It happens to finest academics as well. I don't understand why people are getting so apologetic and offended over an incident which we could all pretty much relate to. Honestly, you really can laugh at the incident without laughing at the person, it is possible, trust me.
Exam Room
Friend 1 to his classfellow (girl) sitting next to him: Do you have rubber
She: What?
Friend 1: I need it now
She: WTH - are you insane
Frined 1 to other friend on left side: Dude, i need a rubber
He: you wanna do it now?
Friend 1: ofcourse
He: dude, you and your fantasies .. I dun have one
LMAO at the original post. Can't imagine myself in that situation..i'd probably laugh my ass off. But then again, who in the world calls them teats???????????????????????? Worst than saying nipples. Nevertheless, it's hilarious. I needed a good laugh after a whole day of studying, thanx Nadz123. :)
