Honey, Sweety, Pumpkin, Cupcake, could you pass me the sugar?

Terms of endearment. You got them, I want to hear them. I find it odd how people will make up nicknames that are usually food products and use this name as an endearing term to their significant other. Why do we make up new names? Why are they usually food products? Do you know the muffin man?
Being a recipient of many "honeys" from my mother, I dispise the name mostly because it is not unique, everyone and their dog can be "honey" to my mother. Then we are all just lemmings walking around with the same name. Darn you lemmings, you addicting game you!
I want to know the strangest and most common terms of endearment that you have used, are using, or have been used on you.
Personally, my favorite is "peanut butter girl," that would be me.

I have been called kido, ugh! Sugar, and pumpkin by so many people it isn't funny. I have also been called babe, baby, cutie,sweetie. I have used hon (short for honey)sweetie,Lemon drop...cause it's funny. I have heard many other great ones, but I think Rachel will want to post those, cause she has actually used them.
My family is the worst though. Natcers, Nararoo, Natakins,bug,button,Natty,any other nick names for Natalie you can think of.

You guys are all freaks! You all have the weirdest nicknames and I am proud to call you friends! But the award goes to Rachel with her stunning nickname of "Sack of Love" because I once heard someone call their cocker spanial that and it always stayed with me, now when I look at Rachel, I can remember that dog. I miss you "Sack of Love"! Oh and Spiro your a laugh riot!

i demand a recount! i had some good ones, and i didnt know it was our own personal nicknames, cuz i have some weirder ones maybe...sack of love isnt all that cool, no one can be a sack of love anyway, you can lay on a love sack, but people arent sacks, lets face that fact please. and spiro, i hope i never come upon you in a cabin in the woods while being stalked...other than that yur funny.

Wait! Hold the ballots! Prepare a re-re-count. I have not told you my nicknames yet. I will only reveal a select few because I am still too traumatized by some to disclose without a few extra sessions with my therapist. Here goes:

Mee Mee
Meems
Meems Dilly
Ree
Beeble
Old Cat Lady (that one's true)
Princess (and that was my name way before it bacame the slogan for all t-shirts and sweatpants)

Now for the more embarrassing, but not too traumatic ones:

Mee Head
Gumbina
Medusa (you know, the lady that makes you die if you take one look at her because she's so hideous)

And those all came from just one person.

All the previous came from family members, however another good one I had when I was dating a guy named Matt. I called him Matty as a term of endearment--which is normal--but he would also call me Matty as a term of endearment.

So there you go. Note to Becky and Sarah: I'D BETTER NOT SEE ANY OF THE TRAUMATIC NICKNAMES POSTED!! I know where you sleep and I know someone with a cabin in the woods. Be afraid!
