Let's face it, most of them are pretty vomitworthy
But in context, who knows? (I certainly wouldn't).

My boyfriend and I have used the "S-word". But NOT on a message board. Just in private communications.

Private schmoopie use is an instance where I -do- support a "don't ask don't tell" policy. :D

10. Well, it's just common courtesy.
Private "shmoopie use" IS looking out for the sensibilites of others, guy.

41. Ooooooh, no, no, no, NOOOOOOO. You misunderstand.
If I were calling him that, I wouldn't vote for it to be destroyed.

If he were calling me that, well, - it's soooo not who he is and I'd probably have to dump is pathetic ass and never mention it in public.

No, 'binky chubbikins' is an endearment used by two persons of my acquaintance. Those two people should be smacked upside the head.

"Schmoopie" actually was a giggler for me (and my ex,) as neither of us had heard the term before seeing a hilarious "Seinfeld" episode that featured it. After that we'd just say it and start laughing.

40. Hunny-bunny should be reserved exclusively for Amanda Plummer
When she's holding a gun on you in a restaurant.

45. Agreed.
When I wrote of it, the glaring exception in my mind was that scene in "Pulp Fiction," the best context yet.
Good call! :thumbsup:

33. My hate list:
Lovey
Hubby
Sweet
Honey, when used excessively
Babe, when used excessively
Any "-y"ing of a first name (Robby, etc.)
Adding "-bear" (Hunny-bear, lovey-bear, etc.)
Rhyming (Lovey-dovey, hunny-bunny, etc.)

Really, the list goes on and on and on....

:D

46. None of them, because you never know.
I've never been comfortable with calling a woman "baby," but Mrs R likes it if I call here that, so I do.

If it makes her feel good, it CAN'T be wrong.
