Mum or Mam are interchangeable, Mother if I'm exasperated or on the wind-up, Mom is nonsense.

I'll say mum usually, mu-um if I'm on the wind up or similar. Mother if I'm telling her off for something.

Mam, as the majority of Geordie's do as far as i'm aware.

UncleRuckus · 18 Apr 2012 at 13:32

Mother.

I thought Mum and Mom were pronounced the same but spelt differently because of 'mericans?

But anyway, it's Mum. And as someone said earlier call her Mother to wind her up.

Or if I need something.. then it's

I've noticed a lot of northerners say mom and some even spell it that way. I think we should segregate them from us

haha.
