Wife or Wifey?


What is the difference you ask? I am, by no means, the expert on this topic, but I am sure I have a few good ideas. The label "wife" just sounds so boring to me. Wifey sounds so much more exciting, and a bit 'younger'. (Hey, anything I can do to feel younger, I'll do.. except maybe plastic surgery or Botox). I said MAYBE.

Maybe there are no real differences, maybe it is just personal preference. I like the sound of Wifey. There are arguments out there that suggest "Wifey" means a woman who is not married to a man, just 'playing house' and that "Wife" is a more respectful name for a legally married woman. To those who think that, I have legal binding documents that suggest otherwise. :)

The Urban Dictionary has many meanings for the term, yet I don't agree with those either. Have you ever looked at the Urban Dictionary? It has some whacked out stuff in there. For instance, my name:










1. Dustie


A southern gal with an attractive smile. She has many guy friends and can be a superb wing-man. She makes you fall in love with her personality and is always ready for fun however; she can be scary when you make her angry Men know to respect her and if they don't, they learn quickly.

Dustie sure can throw a punch.

OR










2. Dustie


A first name, usually reserved for girls. Tends to be associated with those that are particularly scary.

Everyone is afraid of what Dustie might do.

Huh. Not quite me. Now you see why I don't believe it. I believe Wifey to be (in my case) a term of endearment and I take it as that. Hubby often refers me to as that & I have taken on the name.. Hence the new name & revamp of my blog. From now on I shall be known (in Blogger world) as Wifey D. It also reflects the new direction my blog is taking. I wouldn't say my life is super duper exciting, but being a Wifey comes with its ups and downs...and all-arounds. The good, the bad and the ugly, as they say. I choose to share all of these, with you my friends. Be prepared for the ride. I promise to make you laugh, maybe even cry, cringe and even wince at times. Let the journey of Wifey-ness begin.
