ha!

(me too)

...

You know, I never considered we could be misheard like that.

I guess it's sort of weird that we pronounce ma'am like 'marm' instead of 'mam'. Or would, if it was ever said anymore.

It just makes me think of the old BFG animated film, and the military guys saying it to the Queen.

It's a bit ... quaint and antiquated.

It's all over Bodyguard.

Most of the higher-ups in the Police Service that Budd deals are women plus there's the Home Secretary. It doesn't sound like mam and is a little disconcerting to me until I get used to it.

[(Anonymous)]

You mean they aren't saying mom?

[(Anonymous)]

I swear to God, I thought they were say, "Yes, Mum" and "Mum" being a sign of respect.

[(Anonymous)]

I used to think this too -- especially since I only ever heard it in context of speaking to the Queen. Like "they all call the Queen "mum"?? like the monarch is the national parent???"

[(Anonymous)]

I used to think that!

I know they're saying ma'am but I always do a double-take whenever I hear it anyway, bc it really does sound just like "mom".

[(Anonymous)]

Not an English native speaker, but to me ma'am and mom and mum sound nothing alike. Which probably means I'm saying at least one of them wrong. *g*

[(Anonymous)]

In American English they all sound different. (Ma'am with an a like in cat, vs mahm and muhm.) In British English it's mahm, mahm, and muhm. So if you're used to the American pronounciation of ma'am it's pretty weird to hear someone call the queen "mom"/mahm.

OMG, that's hilarious! I might have to watch it just because of that.

[(Anonymous)]

I vaguely remember something in the rebooted Upstairs Downstairs where the butler was discussing tow two pronunciations of ma'am (one way like the British way, one way that sounds like the American way) and he was talking about what was proper in a given situation, but wasn't speaking about it in terms of British vs. American pronunciation, so it made me wonder if sometimes British people pronounce ma'am like the American way depending on the identity of the person they are addressing, or if it was a regional/class accent thing.

How is this fandom?

I find this particularly funny when watching Daniel Craig as Bond, because he clearly had mommy issues with M.
