i prefer "baby," or "babe," or even "babycakes" when drunk

i use "sweetheart" when i'm annoyed and with a lecturing tone

i once heard "toots" being used and that cracked me up, as did "sugartits"

I don't call her anything - just ring the bell when i'm hungry or need something taken care of.

Don't have one right now but: Dollface, toots, babe, her name, and b*tch. (I hastily backtrack and say it's a term of endearment...have to spice things up a bit.)

Also, anything that we would be roleplaying such as....Princess Leia, Nurse Jenny, Sookeh, Ga-In, T-ara, Angelina, G-Dragon, Bulma, Pikachu, Starscream, Cheetara, Ilsa Lund, Marilyn, Faye Valentine, Mystique, some random Naar'i name, Akasha, and Jessica Alba (from Dark Angel).

a chick i was dating once called me "dude"... huh?

i find it offsetting when i am called by my name as well. where is the intimacy in that?

i am also growing very fond of "OPPAH!"... i mean it was grating at first but now i can't get enough of it. i might daresay that for a guy, and if said corfrectly with the right amount of 애교 or what's the word... ridiculously adorable charm... it might be the best term of endearment ever made.

I call her by her name, and sometimes 아줌마, or by ____mom, or ____ 엄마, our daughter's name.

being called "daddy"???

not exactly original. I prefer Papi in Spanish.

anyways, this thread isn't very professional.

I sort of like it when guys call me "noona".

I use very cliched monikers, like Baby and Hun and Darling, but I change them up, and usually use his name. If I'm very angry, I use "Stupid", and I don't say it with any endearment. I don't think cool, sardonic anger suits me, it comes across as even meaner than just aggressive anger.

I dated a guy who called me nothing but Kitty. I know, it's an actual woman's name, but after a while it struck me as really demeaning (it wasn't intentional, but). So, I said, "Hey, Stupid, stop calling me that!" and he cried, so I apologized.

to me appa, and oppa the way I hear Koreans say it sounds almost identical.

but technically, ok my bad - on it meaning Daddy. It means older brother, but is used by younger Korean females toward any older male.

nonetheless this thread still doesn't strike me as very professional and certainly not a part of the je ne sais quoi of Dave's Very Happy

Shocked

and then you forgot to add

"and I lost all respect for him (after seeing him cry for being called Stupid)
"

wrong question.

especially if asked to a puffy chested internet personna equipped with a "badge".

(disclaimer, not all are little Napoleons, but you're in bad luck if you run into the Little General himself/herself)

now THAT, my friend is very much a part of the je ne sais quoi of Dave's!!! Laughing
