You lot take our language, and other people's countries and generally fek them up, then start calling us weird ?......and you don't get irony :D
 
Mum or Mother for me, people saying Mom remind me of my little sister being a fucking american fanboy.
 
Mum is completly UK, therefore unacceptable.

On a more serious note, whats behind saying mum? To me it sounds weird, but im from the U.S. please inform me guys.

A bum is behind most mums.

In Scotland the reason for saying maw is purely so you can rhyme it with better things. "Yer maw takes it raw!". Robert Burns told me.
 
Have heard noticed some of the Brums and Scots on here typing it that way too. Think it's quite specifically regional though cos they've got silly accents ;)

I've always called my mother by her name - never called her by anything else even as a nipper.

Did she ask you to call her by her name? Do you have siblings and if so, what do they call her?

I have two dads (long story) and I've always called them both by their names. My mother is a crazy Australian bitch who HATES the word 'mom' and forbade my brother and me from calling her that...of course, it had the opposite effect and we called her mom just to piss her off. :D If I'm talking about her I usually refer to her as (my) mother, due to her rigid and unloving nature it's the best fit, or occasionally mum. I've had a stepmum since I was 10, she's always stepmum, never stepmom or stepmother, though I call her by her name when I'm talking to her.

tl;dr -- Grew up in the US, Australian mother, Australian dad, German father, Australian stepmum. I have very mixed up lingo.
