"SWMBO" is a term of endearment that we gentlemen in the British boating fraternity give to the lady who lights up our lives. It means She Who Must Be Obeyed
When Magnum says "SWMBO's welcome as long as they know their place" then for a woman at the meeting to say "Can I get you all another round of drinks?" is perfectly acceptable whereas "Would you like to give up your seat so I can sit down?" is not.
