There have been a few terms of endearment that I've been on the receiving end
of that bothered me.  One was:  "Baby Cakes."  YYYEEEEECCCCHHHH!  I hated
that one!  That woman and I didn't last long at all (not entirely because of
her term of endearment, but it sure didn't help).

Another term of endearment (TOD) used by an old college girlfriend was:
"turkey."  Fortunately, she had the good sense to only use this one in
private.

And a good female friend of mine and I have gotten into the habit of calling
each other "Biff" and "Spike."  (I'm Biff, she's Spike).  We ran through a
lot of other TODs (in an attempt to gross each other out) before we arrived at
the current ones.  Such as:  "Huggy-wuggums-sugar-plum," "Snooky-wookums,"
and the ever popular "Ootsie-wootsie-bumblykins." (Really makes you want to
puke doesn't it.)  And this is with just a friend, imagine the horrors we'd
have come up with if we were going out!
