Hon & Sugar drive me bonkers. My husband’s nickname for me is " Toots." I don’t really have a nickname for him, other than " Captain Von Trapp" when he is in one of his " Everysing will be ezactly as I command" mode. It’s more of a bait than an endearment. ---

> [@flight](#): > > I call the current girlfriend ho-monkey. Uh. I called a girl “fuck-monkey” in passing recently, and she mortified me by being tickled by it to the point of mentioning it frequently in public contexts. Aaargh. ---

I sometimes call my husband “Sweetie Britches” because it is so god-awful. ---

My boyfriend and I stick with the tried and true “Honey”, however, this is ALL we ever call each other and I fear we will eventually forget our own names. I also call him Mookie from time to time, but only because he looks like Mookie Blaylock. This has also transformed into “Mook Book” and “Mookie Kabookie”. We also refer to each other as “Smarty Pants Britches”, but this is usually only used when showing off during various Trivia games. These aren’t too bad, right? ---

The worst term of endearment I have evah heard comes from my best friend. She calls her husband “Tinker Whistle Baby Damn”. It’s the “-Damn” part that cracks me up. The really funny part is that she only calls him that when she is really mad, and he never answers to it, he just runs! Mr. Toes and I refer to each other as different animals. I have been “Goose”, “Goose-head”, “Gosling”, and just once “Donkey-tits”. He survived. ---

[QUOTE=praxim] Mercury and I call each other “poop” and “turd.” I’m usually the turd and she’s the poop, the latter being more feminine-sounding. You don’t even want to know how it started, not that I can entirely remember. We tend to mix it up, adding to the names to get variants like “turdbutt” and “poopenstein 3D.” “Cum-chugging road whore,” though, wins my vote for “Pet Name of the Year.” [/QUOTE] That one is similar to a term of endearment a friend of mine was called by her boyfriend, Cum guzzling gutter slut. I am ashamed to say that I often call my SO Pookie. I don’t know why. ---

I have been known to call my daughter “Monkey-Butt”. I always ask her, “Do you know why I call you Monkey-Butt? It’s because your butt is similar to the butt of a monkey.” ---
