Strange things we say to our SO

Quack quack = I love you!

When I first got my phone I set my text tone to a duck quacking and since then quack quack has become a term of endearment between me and my boyfriend.

What oddities do you and your SO say to each other??

    He always uses really strange greetings.

    "what's up hoodrat" "What's up Poccohantas" "What's going on, chief"

    My boyfriend and I have had entire conversations consisting of nonsense words like "murr," "nya," and "nom." I can't explain it.

    But, funnily enough, when I got my iPhone I set his text tone to the duck quacking. xD

    My husband used to use "dirty slut" was a term of endearment. I actually kinda miss it.

    He and I have started putting "-ers" on the end of certain words when we are being cute & our favorite is now saying "I lovers you a lotters" which turned into "I lovers you a lotters like otters...but not snotters" When one of us (usually me) is irritated with the other one I'll say "i lovers you a lotters like snotters" Which lightens up the mood for the both us. It's weird and we sometimes I have to catch ourselves from saying it in public.

    I met my husband when I was an independent 35 year-old, and had a hard time getting used to having someone want to do everything with me. So, I called him an imprinted duck to try to get him to give me some space. It had the opposite effect: he thought it was cute.

    Now, over 20 years later, we both call each other 'Duck.' When social circumstances require me to call him by his proper name, it feels really weird.

    This must be a guy thing - I can expect a new greeting each day after work!

    I've started being called 'snowflake' - relates to a song we both love
    I'm not sure if I use such a term to him but I'm sure he'll let me know if I do :o)

    Do tell us what a woo girl is?? I'm thinking along the lines of the drunk girls who yell "woooooo" when taking a shot or at any other opportunity available?

    I like that - great to have someone who can let us know about both those things!

    No matter what I've weighed (and it's been a 70 lb up/down thing), my husband has always called me "beautiful one", "sexcito", "gorgeous", etc. The only time he uses my give name of Michelle is when he is ticked off about something. The kids know it and stay away whenever they hear him call me by my name... like in today's phone call at work, every sentence he ended with my name, so I started doing it back. Guess what? He then called me the forbidden "C" word and hung up on me! LMAO! This on the day before our 6 year wedding anniversary. More LOL's!!!

    When I hug my husband, I sometimes say, "I want to wear your skin." I'm usually cold and he's warm. I've started calling him my little pork sausage which makes him smile because I think he's little.

    I don't know about ducks, although it might vary by type of duck, but mating for life is fairly common among birds. They're actually better at monogamy than people.

    We were in the living room one day and his daughter (14) came out of her room and went "CAW CAW" like a crow....... and we kept doing it. That and if its hot, one of us will inevitably say "I'm sweatin like a hot turbo". My daughter (4 at the time) said that at the park one day and we thought it was hilarious, so we kept it going.

    We call each other "seal" because once upon a time he tried to balance my boob on his nose and the joke kept growing. Now when we say something to each other we usually start it with "Hey seal..." Our friends give us weird looks but thankfully haven't asked about it =P

    Part of me wants to say that sounds really scary and I'd run for the hills if someone said that to me (I want to wear your skin) but I know I've got some other weird things we say to each other that I just can't think of. My boyfriend turns into a furnace at night - I haven't figured out a saying for it yet but I'm sure one will come up sooner than later!

    I love the secret language that families, couples, best friends - whatever - have with each other. So cute!

    also.......... when we go to bed, and get in the position to go to sleep, one of us will always say "juuuuuust right". It is cute.

    I may or may not have been a woo girl when I was a drunk college kid. :blushing:

    My boyfriend calls me "Spin Ninja" because anytime I do something really silly that he makes fun of me for *in a cute way*, I will inevitably spin the story around to make it seem like he was doing the really silly thing. He also calls me "Blue Eyes" or "the lawyer." I just call him "you".
