Call me ignorant but what is the meaning of SWMBO? I've figured out most of the abreviations used online but not this one... This will probably get a few laughs...

Or other female that must be obeyed in fear of brutal and harsh retaliation for insubordination, such as girlfriend.

Originaly the character Modjadji the Rain Queen in H. Rider Haggard's book "SHE", (1887) Modjadji refered to herself as She Who Must Be Obeyed. Haggard wrote several books, including "King Solomon's Mines".

The term SWMBO was popularized more recently in the British TV series "Rumpole of the Baily" (1979) where Rumpole referes to his wife, Hilda, as She Who Must Be Obeyed. The TV series was based on a series of books by John Mortimer and broadcast as part of the Mystery! series.

Aren't you glad you asked?

Gotta get my 2 pesos in.

SWMBO (pronounced swim-bow). Abbreviation for She Who Must Be Obeyed. n. Any of the female of the species Homo Sapien who's sole existence is to make her partner feel subordinate.

HWBO (pronounced hobo). Abbreviation for He Who's Barley Obedient. n. Any of the male of the species Homo Sapien who, after a heated encounter with a SWMBO finds himself now living on the street (or in the garage).

Cheers,

Randy

Well, there have been a couple of guys who claim they know an adult SWMO (She Who Must Obey) but I've yet to see proof.....

I belive that species died out in the 1920's
