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! Jim Collymore
