You just reminded me....I call my 2 year old "monster". She's the most non-monster like beauty you'll ever see in your life though.

Aww

It's not as cute as Chuky though! :pac:

'Fraid so, big hit for them, back in day! "Ohhhhh my love, I'm holding on foreverrrrr, reaching for a love that seems so far" *cough* ... sorry, something stuck in my throat there.

Khannie, you could change it up to "My Lover" in your best West Country UK accent, á la Darling Buds of May.

Hahah! Excellent!

He comes in from work with a pig under his arm, chewing on grass!

Does "Stinky poohead" count?

Lorrs33 · 01-07-2009 04:00PM

I've been called "babe", "sweetheart", "sweetie", "sexy", "gorgeous", "hun" (unfortunately). I use the same for my OH, and I call him "silly moo" when he makes a blunder, but he hates it

giddybootz · 01-07-2009 04:11PM

Hey Khannie...I also use 'my love' when talking to my closest mates. Used to houseshare with a boy from Dorset who said he grandad said to every girl "alright my love, 'ow are youuu?" if he brought a girlfriend or female mate home!

A big term of affection from me is 'face'...I call my OH Jackface (among other things

) because he has the face of a Jack. If I put face at the end of your name ever it means I now care deeply about you too!

My OH and I can now be heard wandering round shops, pubs etc just calling eachother face!!

G86 · 01-07-2009 04:20PM

One guy took to calling me 'sweetcheeks' and 'brat' quite alot, and once he knew it bugged me he kept it up just to irritate me..argghhh:rolleyes:

I liked him enough to overlook it:o, however there are some terms I just despise - call me 'baby', 'honey' or 'sexy' and you're out the door!

aoibhebree · 01-07-2009 04:21PM

One of my exes used to call me "angel" ... cringe ... I'm actually blushing now just thinking about it!

I don't really use pet names with my current man. Unless missus counts ... he called me missus a few times, and I didn't really mind but then I started calling him missus back, so now when we meet up it's like:
Him - "Howaya missus."
Me - "Howaya missus."
I get a few strange looks when I call him that in public ...

:eek: That's like me and the word "cakes".

I call everyone something with cakes on the end! It makes me so happy ... what a bimbo!

That is a pain in the arse and if it really bothered me and moved from being teasing to being disrespectful there'd be swift action took.

What is it with them wanting to get a reaction to know they can provoke one,or worse the you're cute when your cross. Brats come in many shapes and forms and sometimes they want you to put them in thier place.

See some of them are generic and habit with people so that they could be talking about/to next doors cat and thinking that it will score them brownie points or that that have used the exact same terms for very person they have been intimate so that they don't have to think about it.

Professey Chin · 01-07-2009 04:45PM

Only pet name I ever had for someone was petal but that was years ago and she admitted she loved being called that.
Other then that I dont really use them.I call then whatever the 1st thing pops into my head is.Could be their name, could be somethin generic like hun or it could be countess crabulon.
Ive never really been given one that I can remember

Nervous Wreck · 01-07-2009 04:49PM

I called my ex "pumpkin" for a while but only cos it was around Halloween and I was being festive. Then, at Christmas, I switched to "angel". Haha. Paddy's Day was less cute.......

lil'bluestar · 01-07-2009 04:50PM

He's calls me a monkey butt, especially when I get something wrong or mess something up, I call him a butt munch.
All very affectionately as we have alot of in butt & monkey jokes!

Novella · 01-07-2009 05:37PM

I hate hun and babes soooo much! I do send the odd "Hey sexy" text though, but only as a joke! Most of the time, terms of endearment from me are things like smelly and poo poo head

Although my ex called me melon and I called him watermelon, no idea why. I nicknamed another guy Sophie and he called me James! Jesus.... I'm weird!

Nervous Wreck · 01-07-2009 06:18PM

I call my current crush Barbie cos she wears a pink t-shirt to work and she has blonde hair and she's really pretty.

SeekUp · 01-07-2009 06:41PM

The word we use the most by far is 'honey' -- in public, at home, when we're asking each other to get something . . . other ones are used from time to time, but 'honey' is casually tossed about the most. I think I've even used it when I'm irritated. It's come to replace his name, I think!

This · 01-07-2009 06:54PM

Dont have nicknames.... we call eachother our full names all the time... dunno why or how it started..... even we were are just saying can you give me that or how was your day....

Eviledna · 01-07-2009 07:37PM

Even though it's been stated in tLL before that people find this weird, my OH and I call eachother pet. It's the only pet name I've ever used, and it's a name that came from us being best friends together before hand, and reminds me of those initial strong but gentle hugs before we got together. I love a good hug.

I'm in a soppy oul mood today:o, but he's the only man I've ever felt comfortable enough to be my true self with, so he is my pet.;)

allandanyways · 01-07-2009 08:40PM

My OH and I actually call each other by nicknames so much, when he calls me my actual name I get a bit of a fright... It's a habit we got into and never really bothered getting out of. We generally don't do it in company but just if I text him or am talking to him or calling him somewhere else in the house, I call him Squeezer (which started off as a completley different joke and evolved into a nickname) or Bub or Honey. He calls me squeezer aswell and babe the odd time.

pikachucheeks · 01-07-2009 09:00PM

A guy called me "bbz" one time, in a facebook message. I roared with laughter.

Whatever about calling someone babes, to shorthand it and make it ghetto!? I like to pronounce each letter so it's b.b.z

I say it to all my friends now, for the laugh!

Kimia · 01-07-2009 09:05PM

I don't use the cheesy ones like angel (oh god no) and baby (hate that one) .

I do however call my oh by millions of different names depending on what mood I'm in. I might turn his name into Irish or add an 'ey' at the end of call him boo or by his last name. Loads - I'm like a chattering monkey.

he calls me my love when he's being romantic. Other than that it's the shortended version of my name which is just normal for him but I melt when he calls me by that (no idea why - all my friends shorten my name too!)

You There.

Sorry chukycheeks......it's a no contest. She's the most beautiful lady to ever walk the planet and when I call her monster my heart melts.

*barf*

I bet you only say that because she's the image of you, bbz!

Khannie · 01-07-2009 10:59PM

In fact I think she looks nothing like me. She's the spit of the mrs. About the only thing that I gave her is straight hair and maybe my nose.

Xiney · 01-07-2009 11:17PM

I use "honey" and "dear" most often, I think. I sometimes use "darling" but more often than not it's a tongue in cheek "daaaaaahlink"

On one memorable occaision (in front of his friends) I called him "Mister Muffin Pants". I don't think he's forgiven me yet.

I hate "babe" and "baby". Don't know why. Just do.

He calls me "foolish sea otter" and a lot of weird things.

Maddison · 01-07-2009 11:30PM

My OH actually does call me pet names...normally when I pick him up from the pub & hes p*ssed...normally goes like this....''I bleed*n love ya ye di*khead'' and I scowl all the way home going over the bumps as rough as I can.

Nevyn · 02-07-2009 12:20AM

I can use "Yes Dear" with devestating effect, it's fun. :pac:

"Foolish Sea Otter" well he's not likely to have called anyone else that and often it's not what's said it's the way that it's said.

spinandscribble · 02-07-2009 05:30AM

I have had the silliest pet names given to me. Snuggle bean, jelly bean, greeny beany. lots of bean references ??? Apparently i can be like a can of beans.

I prefer unusual pet names because they feel unique and special. they take time though. I always hated babe and wasn't crazy on baby but i've warmed to "baby" a lot.

i'm a bit of a crazy one for the pet names

i challenge myself to come up with even more sickly sweet ones.
