What do you call your better half?

When I hear “Honey” I blanch. It is just so goodie two-shoes, 1950s contrived that I can’t imagine anyone who would be creatively bankrupt such that they would use it. Same for “Dear,” “Darling” or “Sweetheart.”

Between ourselves, I call generally call him “hon” & he calls me “babe.”

Well, Mr. Wolf… on behalf of the creatively bankrupt among us, thanks for the compliment. I’m assuming that the short form of “honey,” that is “hon” that I use is no less blanch-inducing to you!!!

So, what terms would you prefer to have people use? The Wind-beneath-my-wings? Snugglebunny? Snugglepuss? Snookums? My bunney-wunney man? Sweetiepie? Dickhead? Asswipe? What? What do you consider creatively… ah… rich?

And, while we are at it. What do you call your significant other – whether male or female – that is oh, so much better and more creative?? Pray, do tell!!!

Sincerely,

Jonathan, Vice Minister of Creative Bankruptcy, Homosexual Division
