Poll: Mum, Mom, Mam Or Other?

Birmingham, West Midland's, mom.

Mam.

I come from the north east of England, the only time I've heard 'mum' in person was from a southern kid whose family had moved into the area. He was mocked over it no end in school, everyone thought it sounded soft and poncy. I sort of felt sorry for him, but kids are gits.

Friends I have from Ireland and Scotland commonly use 'mam' also.

Mum. I do have some distant relatives in Yorkshire who call their mum 'mother' which seemed to be the norm when I last paid a visit a few years back. Dunno if that's still the case in that part of the country.

Mom is a Midlands thing, I think. Most people round here say it.

Personally I use 'mum.'

Do you get the bitty?

 

[branddaly]

It depends.... Mam, because I'm from newcastle. Mum, when I'm with a bunch of southerners. Mother, when I'm annoyed with her.

If you say you're from the north and call her mum, you're from the midlands.

It's either Mam or Mother, depending on how much the patience is being tested

Mum, calling her "mother" just doesn't sound right to me.

 

[StriderX]

Mother for formal/non-family company, mum otherwise.

We live in a society.

 

[Junglist]

Mother - When I want something.
Mum - All other times. But it sounds more like Muh, which can get confusing when my mother and grandmother are about as I call my grandmother Mama, but often Ma for short and they sort of sound similar.

 

[TurtleTwo]

Mom - American
Mum - English
Mam - chav

Since when do chavs say mam? I thought that is how northeners say mum.
