I sometimes refer to Amy, the love of my life, as The Law, and I have been known to call my sons Dude, and Bud or Buddie.
Pink Dahlia said:I call my sissy that too. I love Sissy!
I miss Lefty. He wrote well and knew how to punctuate.For the most part, Mrs. Lefty and I refer to each other as honey, baby, or babe, but there are hundreds and hundreds of terms that have come, gone, or evolved to such an extent that it's difficult to trace their origins. We dated for 9 years before getting married 4 years ago, so we've got a pretty big list.
A simple one is "pants". It doesn't sound very affectionate, but it comes from cutie pants (yes, we're extremely sappy, but not in public). Another is pronounced "two-ee", which comes from "two shoes", which comes from "little two shoes", which is probably from "goodie two shoes", and who knows why that would have been a starting point.
So, if you ever meet us, you won't have to wonder why one of us is being called pants and the other two-ee. You'll know that a rose called two-ee would smell as sweet.
