Today I'm going to teach you about things or
names that you can call your partner, your

So these are words that we use in English
to talk about the one that we love or the

In English they're called
terms of endearment.

So, probably the most common ones are
things like, as I said to you: "darling".

One word of caution, ladies and gentlemen:
These are for people that you know.

So, for example, if you're in a restaurant,
please do not call the waitress: "babe", or

If you know the person, if it's your baby,
your mom, your dad-that's weird-your child,

your boyfriend, your girlfriend, your other
boyfriend, your other girlfriend, your dog,

your cat, someone who is close
to you - please, use these.

But if this is a stranger,
do not use these.

Women, especially, do not appreciate
being called these names.

We find it insulting because I
am not your sugarpie, darling.

Unless you want a smack in the
face, I'm not your sugarpie.

So, one thing that's come up that I didn't
know that I found out when I was researching

A long time ago in the 2000s or the 1990s, it
was popular in rap songs to say: "My boo".

And I thought: "That's funny,
that's what ghosts say."

But it actually is probably just people who
can't say friend properly-Americans-it comes

So in the French language they have the word
"beau", which means boyfriend or girlfriend,

So, Honey Boo Boo is a really famous
little girl, and her name has two names...

Terms of endearment together,
Honey Boo Boo, you darling.

So, "boo" is the French
bastardization of "beau".

We make these names by
talking about sweet things.

Most of these names are older, so that's
why we're using kind of older things.

So, you can just call someone your honey, but
then we can have: "honey-pie", "honey-bun",

Then we can be "sweet" something,
so: "sweet-pea", "sweet-cheeks".

Cheeks are here and
they're also your bum.

"Sweet-thing", but I think you should be like:
"sweet-thang", you should say it like that.

I don't know why, but a lot
of these have to do with pie.

I guess back when they were making these words,
they liked pie, and that's all they had.

A pumpkin is a big, orange fruit or
a veggie, I guess it's really cute.

Again, I can't stress enough that you cannot
just say these to people that you don't know,

Be very careful who you say these to
because you can use them sarcastically.

So, for example, Mel Gibson called a
cop or a police officer "sugar-tits".

I don't think that the cop really enjoyed
that, and Mel Gibson in a movie was arrested.

So, "sugar-tits", maybe a term of
endearment, but be careful how you use it.

You don't want to get
arrested, go to jail.

We can also use this, for example, if I am
speaking to another girl and I'm trying to

kind of be sarcastic with her, I
can say, like: "Okay, honey."

So the way that we use it, the intonation
that we say it, especially to a stranger,

We also have things like: "cutie"
or "cutiepie", "angel", "apricot".

My chiropractor always calls me "apricot",
and I'm like: "I'm not an apricot, sir.

Now, this is a very,
very old expression.

You hear it or see it in movies:
"a doll" or "dollface".

Again, outdated, we
don't use it as much.

More common ones are:
"hottie" or "hot stuff".

Then we have just names that are
silly, like: "snookums", or "snooky".

I think Snooki was one of the characters
in that terrible television show.

"Snuggles" and one of my
mom's favourites: "pet".

This must be a Scottish saying because my
mom always calls me: "pet", and I'm like:

"Mom, my name's Ronnie. I'm not a
dog or a cat", but I'm her pet.

And I was like: "Wow, okay,
mom, are you talking to me?

So, "pet" is a word that I think
maybe Scottish people use a lot.

It's a term of endearment, and it just
means: "Hey, you're cute. I like you."

I want you guys to think about in your country:
What words do you use for terms of endearment?

I know in Mexico it's pretty cool
to call people fat, "gordo".

It doesn't translate, because in English if
you called your boyfriend or especially your

So if you have secret, special names that
you call your partner, or your husband, or
