Hubs

Hubs is a modification on the slang term "husband" in reference to one's male spouse. Often used as a term of endearment, hubs is now a commonplace term especially in American cultural tradition. Pati (pronounced pah-thee) is the traditional term for husband in India, but now that the language is becoming americanized by the cross cultural mixture of Indian-Americans in the U.S., Hubu is coming more into use as well as Hubs.
