SWMBO is slang for a female who "must be obeyed." It sounds harsh, but is often used jokingly to refer to a girlfriend or wife whose preference takes priority.
The term She-Who-Must-Be-Obeyed originated in the novel She: A History of Adventure, which was written by Sir H. Rider Haggard. In the novel, two adventurers search for a terrible, supernatural queen named Ayesha, who is sometimes referred to by the nickname She-Who-Must-Be-Obeyed.
