Low BG endearments

[Sharah]

Has anyone noticed how many terms of endearment are high carb?
Sweetie, sweetie pie, sugar, honey bun?
Is there a low carb endearment for a diabetic lover?

Never though about that as in French we don't use those. That makes me think of the DIVAbetics site where I found a quote I like: Sugar's the bitch. Not me.

Strange,
I think it's because when people love someone VERY much, they feel like they want to eat him... :shock: and what is better to eat than something sweet?
How many times have you heard people say "oh my god, this baby is so sweet, I can just eat him"...

Gemstone: What endearments do French speaking people use? Is there one we could translate and borrow?

cowgirl: great response! I’m impressed. I don’t think I’ll risk addressing someone as ‘porkie’ but there are times when ‘you big cheesy bear’ may be suitable for my husband LOL.

Anita: I know what you mean about babies. My grandmother would say ‘isn’t she a delicious little dumpling?’

There is a story (probably an urban myth) that a lip-reader claims that Prince Philip leaned towards the Queen at some long-winded official event and murmured ‘buck up cabbage’. Now there’s a low carb low GI endearment!

Sharah,

Mon petit chou à la crème... my little cream puff would be one... beside that nothing comes to mind... not that we don't have them but they lose a lot in the translation.
