Croatian term or phrase: muž puž
Nemam pojma kako bi to glasilo na engleksom, no mislim da kontekst ne treba, niti može puno pomoći!

hubby bubby
Explanation:
Mislim da ovo "puž" u "muž puž" nema nikakvo pogrdno značenje, već da jednostavno žena tako "tepa" mužu. :) Makar do sad nisam čula niti pročitala da "muž puž" označava nešto negativno; naprotiv.

Hvala, slažem se da 'muž - puž' nema pogrdno značenje, nego je samo tepanje, a što se tiče toga kako to zvuči izvornom govorniku, prepustit ću lektoru!
