Joel is Hunny Bunny, or Fuzzy Little Bunny All Stuffed With Honey. I’m Pumpkin Tits.

LOL my boyfriend calls me pumpkin tits too. I think it’s utterly ridiculous considering I have pretty much the tiniest boobs one can have while still being able to consider them boobs. I think he just calls me that because I think it’s funny. I don’t have a nickname for him.

I once overheard a friend call her boyfriend “Boo Boo Kitty Fuck,” which was a real WTF?! for me…

Worst I’ve ever been called is Boofuls, not too dreadful.

We may well have a mutual friend. I know someone who lived in “The Great Northwest” whose MySpace name was “Boo Boo Kitty Fuck”. Sounded very characteristic of her sense of humor.

The only bad thing about the SDMB is having a husband and a nephew as members.  
Every time I see a thread like this, I have to search through it JUST IN CASE.  
So far, no husband post for my nephew to gloat over.  
Good god, I can hear him now! “Hey, Aunt Cyn! I mean Totally Obnoxious Husband-given NickName! Pass the mashed potatoes!”

I call my husband Ooberry. It used to be Pooh, but it sorta migrated.

[QUOTE=Dung Beetle]  
I like to roll down the car windows after I drop the boy-child off at school and holler, “I love you, Honey Possum!” or some similar goofy name. I may do it to the girl-child one of these days if she doesn’t look out, but the boy at least thinks it’s funny. The girl would be _seriously_ embarrassed.

That’s one extremely secure 17-year-old son you’ve got there. 😛

No nicknames here. I call my daughter Chick, which is short for Chiquita Banana, because we used to sing the Chiquita Banana song to her a a baby and she would gurgle and smile.
