I have never heard of this term of endearment, do any members of the WAB have names for their nearest and dearest, if so please share.

Since our word filter has recently been "tweaked," I'd rather not say.

Southie · 10-23-2007, 14:49 PM

Most of you know that for my daughter her "name" is pocket Ashley. I know she's not my other half, but she is definitely my better half!

She makes me laugh and smile!

One time I called my wife, "Sweetness and light, star of my night, light of my day, kleenex of my love.". "Kleenex of your love?", she asked. I replied, "You're the kleenex of my love and don't let me blow it!". She laughed and said if I added a dog and pickup truck it would make a pretty good country song.

My Fiance has this gorgeous, long straight red hair - so I generally call her "Rua" as a pet name, the Irish word for Red, she likes it a lot

.

Bit iffy about marrying her though - I love her profoundly yet every time I log on I see what marriage has done to our other male patrons

Actually, I call her 'Ole What's-'er-Name'. (back me up on that, dalem and/or TopHatter.) It really is a term of endearment. We're just strange.

I just like how this thread is called the "other" half and not the "better" half as is typically used.

**Parihaka** · 10-23-2007, 21:01 PM

Hmm, lets see. Her Indoors when she's not listening, sweetpea when I want something, and "uhh?" when she's talking to me.

sappersgt · 10-23-2007, 22:11 PM

I had one girlfriend I really liked who used to call me "white boy". I referred to her as "la nina bronceada", it sounded so much better than "brown girl". She ended up getting vanity plates saying BRNCEAD.

I often call my wife "Adeshem" or just "Adesh". That is the Hungarian equivilant to "Schatze" in German meaning "Sweetheart".

Endearment
