Pet Names for Friends and Lovers

It's all about the love. Not making this up. A former employer would say this to me signaling it was time to get back to work. It worked. He had a gift, many in fact, that endeared him to my heart. Most of all it was his way of saying stop talking.

What is a popular term of endearment? These terms of endearment run the gamut from classic to cute to bizarre. Pet names like “sweetheart” and “honey” have been around for hundreds of years (since the thirteenth and fourteenth centuries, respectively), while newcomer “bae” is a twenty-first-century invention.
