G'day Al, yep boxhead has got it right. Mind you, it only applies to those that take any notice of "the wife". If you live in NSW & are consequently a real man, then the term is meaningless!!
On the bottom of the page there is an abbreviation section that explains many of the abbreviations used, but SHMBO is not one listed. Best wishes & don't let her get the better of you.

And if your name is Barry F whose wife has wired up his beer fridge to zap him to get him to cut down on his beer consumption. Then it is definitely SWMBO LOL

Al,

I like the one used on here often as 'Minister of Finance' with that in mind SWMBO then has a whole new meaning. Kinda keeps things in perspective.

LOL

It was a term coined by Horace Rumpole, referring to his wife Hilda in the most excellent legal TV (British) Series, "Rumpole of the Bailey".

Horace was played by the Australian actor Leo McKern.

If you have never seen it, take the time to find it.
