I like pet names and nicknames. (Because if I don’t talk about something good my head will explode.) I’m sort of an addict, actually. In light of recent events, it’s come to my attention that I actually have favorites, but they remain particular. Lately every time a certain one pops up I wind up thinking to myself that it’s the best ever, but only if I’m called that, it’s not my favorite to use. So I’ve decided to waste the time I should be spending trying to sleep on compiling a list.
My favorites to use are “dove”, “love”, and “babe”.
I’m commonly saying “hon”, “dear”, and “darling”.
I use “sweed” with Jei. It’s pronounced “Swede” but a play off the common mispronunciation of “Sweetie.” Swee + D = SweeD.
I dislike to be called “sexpot”, “doll”, or “hottie”. Seriously now. And sometimes even, “baby”. Only certain people can pull that one off.
I hate to use OR be called “sweetie”, “sweets”, “sugar”, and “doll”.
I’ve always wanted to use “doe” and “kanga”. Though I’m pretty sure if anyone called me “kanga” I’d punch them in the face.
I’ve been known to use “ass”, “jerk”, and … various other swear words as terms of endearment.
I also like made up ones such as “weedlepop”, “pieface”, or “mufflesnuggle”.
I’m intrigued by “dear heart”, “birdie” and “muffin”.
My favorites to be called are “babe”, “love”, “lady”, and “miss”.
Do you like or dislike pet names?
What are some of your favorites?
And now I must away, because instead of spending all night at the computer I promised someone important that I would try to attempt sleep tonight, even if it means breaking this stellar record I have going. I seriously went to the doctor today, drove out for breakfast, and didn’t remember doing it hours later. But that’s a zombie story for another time. A thousand times good night.
(I realize now I didn’t talk about nicknames this time, but I will.)
EDIT: I’ve added, “lady” and “miss” to the list. =)
EDIT #2: “Mangette” is also one of my favorites to be called, but only one person can call me that.
Well, this post just makes me want to call you sweetie xD
No, but really, I don’t usually use pet names. Except, as you said, swear words as terms of endearment. I do that all the time.
Sleep<3
PS. You are probably the first foreign person I really started to <3 because of lj. I just like you ahah. Idk, I feel this connection and have the feeling we’d be good friends irl. :)
I was just writing a post about that. (The connection I mean.) It was titled, “People I Miss That I’ve Never Met” and you’re definitely on that list.
I think we’d get along splendedly and I honestly love reading about your life. I normally like reading about strangers lives, but with you it’s almost like we were friends before and you or I moved away and I have this desire to check up on you and see how things are going. It’s weird but totally cool.
<3
