Post booster and little a feel good thread:
Nicknames given to us by our SOs... luv.gif
The_dip_sticks
Well my hubby calls me a few things.
Monkey, turttle lips, princess, and we call each other egg instead of baby. We wanted to use a different word other than "baby" beacuse every one uses baby so we came up with "egg". Its so funny now we use egg like its a normal thing and people look at us funny when we say egg out loud and wonder why on earth are we calling each other egg. jejej
julianna
Hmm..the standard Habibti.. then Shaytana, itsy bitsy evil (he learned itsy bitsy spider), Mermaid, juju, killer, habibtoh, beebti, etc.

The ubiquitous habibity, magnoona, moody, hayaty, my queen (I HATE this one), my little girl, my baby, frawla (strawberry), angel, sound from heaven (this one kills me, he says that when he answers the phone), my rose (again, not a favorite), tomato (when my cheeks are rosy he calls me this).

I call him habibi or his name. I'm not creative.

it is a deep way to express how much they love you (at least that is what mr grumpy says) .. he also said once that if they really like someone and they never want to be without them, they will say "i put you behind my eyes" and that is similar to saying I will never let go of you (in a matter of speaking)
no more being puzzled smile.gif just be ...err... loved good.gif
hollyw
My husband calls me

hollydays ..... that's the big one... i'm almost never called just holly anymore, even by his friends and family, i don't even know where it came from
mahboula (crazy)
tafaha (apple)
minouch (cat)
diba (wolf)
namssa (fox)
hanouna
carota (carrot)

I usually call him Medy... or Sid Ahmed if I'm trying to be serious. Patata (potato) if he calls me carota. Mahanez (dirty) if he won't listen to me.

I had forgotten about hayate too.. We very seldom use each others real names... I dunno why that is really... hmmm.... I know that I'm a stickler for saying names exactly right so I steer away from saying Noor coz it always comes out Nor instead of NOOOOR and that drives me nuts!! lol... as far as what he calls me... I'll have to ask him about that lol...

when I first saw this, i thought..."why would he call her a duck butt" lol ...
in my family, being all sarcastic all the time...if there's not enough space between a word and the word but...we automatically say..what's a *insert word here*butt?? in this case being "duck butt" lol

thats just too funny
