The SportSquee Glossary: Home Depot Husband


Home Depot Husband (n.)

def.- (1) Any fantasy husband who seems implicitly responsible, decent, and capable in a decidedly non-threatening and comforting way; (2) Any fantasy husband you can easily see building you a shelf unit in the garage, changing your oil, and/or doing your taxes.

Origin-
Every girl has a fantasy husband she enjoys not because he is good-looking or brash, but because he seems like the reliable kind of life partner you'd want to meet in real life.

Famous Home Depot Husbands- Mike Richards is the most notable in this category, as it feels completely natural to picture him filling out a pair of dockers, paying the cable bill, picking up some Miller Lite to take to the neighbors' barbecue, and/or fixing that brick on the front stoop that you always trip over. Others include Brian Gionta, Sammy Pahlsson, Jorge Posada, Jay Cutler, Paul Rudd.

I agree Kristen, Joe Mauer is beautiful. I don't even like baseball but I'll be a Twins fan for him.

He reminds me of a hotter version of one of our AHL guys who I absolutely adore.
