What do you call your loved ones?
3As stated in a previous thread I call my wife of almost 22 years “What’s her face”. I also have 3 kids that I sometimes call “boy”, “girl”, and “other boy” or by number “1”, “2”, and “4” (it’s a binary counting thing and you probably don’t want to know more).

The daughter is “tiny human”
My generational spawn are know collectively as fruit of my loins.
@therealjrn
That sounds like something my Dad has said before.
@jst1ofknd I’ve long since turned into my dad.
@therealjrn You don’t prefer the term crotch fruit?
Stay classy, @mike808
Brian.
@lisaviolet Which is weird because his name is Kenneth.
@medz Ken didn’t understand this. I had to explain it, then he started laughing. Out loud.
Sometimes I call them “Assholes who beat me in fantasy football”.
To her face or behind her back?
@cinoclav
Typically not to her face. The term is typically used to reference her. To her face is typically “honey”.
I called my fiance Sweet Pea.
Miss Belle, my yellow lab is usually “Ding Dong” or “Miss Thing”. Zoe, the little papillon is “Monster”. Very fitting nicknames for their personalities.
By their names.
I call him his name. To other people I’ll sometimes him my partner.
My brothers and I refer to our parents as The Flintstones.
@heartny Ours are Raging Bull (otherwise known as Grambo) and Lucy Ricardo.
Romantic partners in general are “sweetie” or “cutie” in casual conversation both to their face and to others. Long distance relationships are somewhat formally considered “comets”. One particular partner is known as “the Partner Beast”, because he’s shy about info about him being known on the Internet and thus doesn’t get referred to by name. (Also he makes some great Muppet impressions.)

Hmm… to their face their names or occationally sweetheart, sweetie. Where they will never hear it, when I realize yet again that there are good reasons why some species eat their young, sometimes it can be asshat, brat child…
For the spouse: sweetheart
For the kids: (when not using their names) Oldest & Youngest (or Red)
I seem to use variations of “babe” or “baby” a lot for both spouse and daughter…
