[quote=BBQQ,281736]Ways to call your husband: No.1 丈夫, 爱人 and 先生are formal. They are used on some formal occasions. No.2 那口子. Please refer to No.8 of ways to call your wife. No.3 当家的,掌柜的. The men are the head of their families. They are similar to 女主人，财政部长，纪检委, 女当家，领导. No.4 孩子他爹and 孩子他亲爹 are similar to 孩子他妈，崽他妈 and 孩他娘. No.5 老公 and 亲爱的 (darling) are informal. No.6 官人 and 相公 were used in ancient times. 相公 has another meaning. When playing mahjong，people usually have 13 titles in their hands. If your titles are less than 12 tiles, you are called 小相公. If your titles are more than 13 titles, you are called 大相公. No.7 挨千刀的. You usually hear this word in Chinese traditional dramas. In daily life, people seldom call their husbands 挨千刀的 unless they quarrel with each other. It has derogatory meaning. No.8 老伴. The older women call their husbands 老伴. [/quote]
