What strange terms of endearment do you use?

Asked by awomanscorned (11261points) May 24th, 2011 from iPhone

My mom used to call me “Noellie Turtle Belly” I guess because it rhymed easily?

I call my little girl “Rio Bandito” or “Rio Tomatillo”

What weird nicknames/terms of endearment do you have/use?

My little girl calls her grandpa, my dad, “Handthome Papa”

My grand childen differentiate between the two sets of grandparents. My wife and I are grandma and grandpa, the other set are umah and opah (or however you spell it in German. My daughter is a language major specializing in German, Russian, and a couple other eastern European languages. He dog end up with Russian names.

I call my girl my “female lady maiden” (it is a Justin Wilson reference. Cajun chef from N’Arleans.)

My mom calls me Dolly. My dad calls me Zezza.
I can’t think of any strange terms of endearment I use for specific people. Sometimes I say “hon” or “sweetie” to some of my friends, but that’s about it.

Oh, I call Lucille “Banana”. I guess that’s strange, but it’s also just more of a nickname.

For the longest time the wife & I called ourselves tutti frutti & jelly tot! This soon morphed into toottie fwoottie & jwellie twott…..baby talk. Now we just call each other pet or love or hinny.
The kids go by the name of awesome!

I call queenie “queen bee”.
I call my mum “Sasparilla”.
And I call my father “godzilla”.

Those are the only real “terms of endearment” I use.

Started out Pooky, then Spooky in October, then Pooky-mon (“I choose you!”) when I was feeling silly.

Chooch, courtesy of my husband. (It means “asshole” in Italian, but it sounds cute, eh?)
I call my cat “Schmuley mooley” or “Schmoodle doodle.” True story.
My husband calls me “Pork-nugget” and “Fooschnickens.”
My sisters both have unusual nicknames, but I won’t post them here for privacy reasons. Though, sometimes I call my youngest sister Baneeners.
My grandmother calls me “Pompushki.” – which is a type of doughnut in Ukrainian. It’s because I have chipmunk cheeks.

For the most part I keep it pretty classic and I call everyone babe or baby.

I’m Bee to Mr. Fiance and a handful of close friends.
He’s Dinky. I don’t really remember why. That’s kind of evolved into Dinkerman.

He calls me all kinds of weird things, usually involving food (Sugar Buns, Honey Omelette, etc. – they get really weird!). One day he called me Honey Bear, so I called him Bunny Hair. That was pretty funny.

My mom used to call me Monkey and Bubbalah (or however you spell that), and my dad just called me Kiddo.

I tend to call people I am fond of “Poppet”, “Lovey” or “Pickle” (Pickle is usually animals or young children though, I don’t call adults pickle!!!)

My boyfriend and I tend to call each other by our names (he shortens mine to Leigh) or he’ll call me “gorgeous” or “sexy” but they’re pretty standard not unusual.

My dad has always called me “Fruitcake”, “Picklebum” or “Princess”.

@noelleptc That’s the best story I have heard all day!

My wife calls me Babe all the time and even has it as my name in her cell phone. We recently got a new car with Bluetooth where you can wirelessly sync your phone to the car’s speakers. She tried calling me once from the car, but it did not recognize the name “Babe” from her phone. So, she tried changing it to multiple other names, even my actual name “Erich”, but the friggin thing wouldn’t recognize any of them! Finally, she found one that did work. My name in her phone is now…

Dork.
