Which reminded me of one of my less glorious moments ... but since it's language-related: My first marriage started going pear-shaped from, oooh, about day 1. Shortly before the final curtain, my wife and I had an incandescent row not long before going to a friend's party. The car journey to the venue was accomplished in companionably poisonous silence, a fairly normal condition for us by then. There were some people there we didn't know, and I was introduced to them, but only after I'd had more than one drink. Well, more than several, actually. I then introduced my spouse as "This is ____, my ex-wife." She (naturally enough, and with a couple of drinks inside her as well) reponded, without thinking: "We're still married!", to which I replied "It's all a matter of timing." Whoops. 
The idiot also known as Capfka ...

One of my nearest and dearest male friends, calls me "doll". It never fails to bring a smile to my face!  But another of my male friends, has always referred to me as "darlin'". This too, I loved, until the day I overheard him say to another friend, "in Texas, when you can't remember their name, we call 'em darlin'!" Kinda took the sweetness out of it for me!

Rouspeteur mentioned "Michaelmouse" for Michael, to which I add the German version: "Dreamaus" for Andrea

Since taking the name Keiva, I've taken to calling my wife-of-25-years my kalleh, which is Yiddish for my "bride". She says it makes her feel like a young girl.
To twenty-five more, my shayn kalleh!
