It's Mother's day, Not Muther's Day...

[classic33]

So, if I have a fry up at 6pm, it's breakfast?

Along similar lines,
If I have the main meal of the day, just prior to turning in for the morning, is it breakfast or dinner?

At least @Markymark only has a sandwich on his hand, not a massive chip on his shoulder.

In the same way that you insecure Southerners have attempted to eradicate the English dinner (Christmas lunch??? Get over yourselves) you're also trying to be posh and by doing so watering down culture.

Mom? Mommy? Yup. That's regional.

Mam? Mammy? Yup. That's regional.

Mum? Mummy? No, you've made that up, you quinoa munching wannabees.

I do hope @Markymark is a Southerner.[/QUOTE]

No need to be like that, you’re just brothers from another mother to me.

Your attempts at mimicking speech is quite chuckle-worthy though.

Mam. Which turned I to Mum as I got older and heard what other people called theirs.

Err....

Yes. It's been called that for about 500 years.

i was born in the extreme Sarf.

Raised in the extreme North.

Now residing in the middle.

And I know that the whole thing is a barstweardisation of an ancient festival, deliberately usurped and rebranded in order to sell greetings cards, flowers, and Chinese made plastic tat to Americans and Midlanders.

Being an ur kid, I bought my mum an orchid today. I don't like cut flowers.

Anyhow, Smothering Monday's on the way.
