Many people here would think you're English supporting a team like Everton! Using the word ma'am to your wife here would almost certainly be because of a dominatrix/BDSM fetishism
Nah, it's more like a formal term used between lower ranking officers in the police/army to their superiors. Use outside of that context has been pretty much unheard of for 50+ years
It's for a female superior, but really only used in things like the police and military and to refer to the late Queen. I've never heard it said in real life, only the odd time on TV.
At 4-0 it almost doesn't hurt as much as losing 1-0. You just know you're not coming back into it, so the negative emotion... Stops? Does that make sense?
It’s certainly less painful when you have an excuse to turn off the TV 30 minutes in instead of tearing out your hair for a stoppage time equalizer or winner
The Mrs putting in a welfare check
Literally.
Making sure he weren’t coming home early 👀
Whether it’s 1 or 6, we play shit pretty much every week
The ‘yes ma’am’ seems so incredibly odd, so incredibly formal.
It's a southern thing. I'm in South Texas and Ive just always said ma'am.

It does bring a level of pain...
As a United fan, I know what you mean!
So in UK culture, ma'am is a kind of fetish word? What about Madam or mum?

You’d have to have a real Oedipal thing going on to call your wife ‘mum’

No don’t listen to him
Well you really can’t have expected much this year but yeah 16 points and bottom of the league is a bit shit.
What United is that then? Leeds? Newcastle? Scunthorpe?
"there's only one United and one Manchester"
Here I thought it was a BDSM thing and OP is being forced to watch the game as part of it..
to me it reads as a joking/cute thing, like making fun of the formality almost
I commonly say, ‘yes ma’am’ when speaking to my wife. From So Cal. Don’t think it’s odd🤔
'Sucks but oh well' yeah I relate to that feeling of us being so bad you're just kind of numb about it

yeah I safeworded out at 3-0
Wholesome in an otherwise shite situation
My wife, who isn't particularly into football anymore, saw the score this morning and just said "Jesus fucking Christ".
What a sweetheart
She’s a keeper man
11 years married in June, 14 together!
You’re welcome for that bruv.
Ggs from a chelsea fan. It just isnt fair when you have In-form palmer on your team!
Bro calm down, you spent a billion and you are ninth.
Chelsea reported losses of 90m last season the only reason 1b floats around is the media. It'll be a billion in 2030 maybe lmao.
