Some friends of my wifes and mine got involved in calling each other cutesy names for the fun of it. The eventual goal was to try and sicken the other person. Naturally, we had to partake in this, and it became a contest to find the 'best' endearment to call your other. To date the best, or at least the most memorable, is: Sugar-Baby-Honey-Bottoms all sort of slurred together. Anyone have any really great endearments? Ones that if used would cause any singles within hearing range to promptly swear off marriage. If you don't take marriage in fun, then it never will be. -Jim !amd!fortune!wall

There have been a few terms of endearment that I've been on the receiving end of that bothered me. One was: "Baby Cakes." YYYEEEEECCCCHHHH! I hated that one! That woman and I didn't last long at all (not entirely because of her term of endearment, but it sure didn't help). Another term of endearment (TOD) used by an old college girlfriend was: "turkey." Fortunately, she had the good sense to only use this one in private. And a good female friend of mine and I have gotten into the habit of calling each other "Biff" and "Spike." (I'm Biff, she's Spike). We ran through a lot of other TODs (in an attempt to gross each other out) before we arrived at the current ones. Such as: "Huggy-wuggums-sugar-plum," "Snooky-wookums," and the ever popular "Ootsie-wootsie-bumblykins." (Really makes you want to puke doesn't it.) And this is with just a friend, imagine the horrors we'd have come up with if we were going out! Jim Collymore

My mistake, that should not be TOD, but TOE (for terms of endearment). What do you want, it's Friday. Jim Collymore

Probably one of the more original "endearments" (and the one that makes me feel the most special without feeling "depersonalized") is the one that my SO adopted for me: buddy.
