Covivant, I've never heard that... I like it a lot.

I admit to having taken in a bit of white wine when I wrote the original crabby post, but am glad I did, interesting discussion.

So, what is the term for obsessive chemical love? (Been there, baby...)

in german the word "ex" has a simpler meaning.
when you are sitting around with your buddies having a beer, "ex" is the command to empty the glass in one gulp. hbg

Glass gulping has never been one of my culpabilities, amazing given the number to choose from.

An ex should obviously be someone you've had a bit more of a relationship with than "he who used to sit next to me on the bus." But don't make the cute li'l' guys stop using it, I love it when they say things about their "ex" who later turns out to have been their coloring partner.

On the subject of things to call a current "significant other" (that's a particularly stuffy one right there, actually Smile ), if you don't like "my man" how about "my boo"? I think that's what you call 'em now for the three weeks before they become an ex.

I find all of those terms pretty annoying, but I do, in my head only, sometimes think of the bf as "my sweetie." Embarrassed hee hee, even he would throw up if he heard that... I think that one is kinda cute. But I consider all those things to be too annoying for the world at large to hear.

I am sort of susceptible to my sweetie too. (Don't tell...)
It's the rote words that sort of grind my gears...

Hmm I have it hard because at some point I started calling EVERYONE by pet names. As in hun, babe and sweetie. It sounds horribly american if I fake it but when I do it without thinking it's just the way I speak.

I really don't like girls calling their boyfriend baby though. The only time I will EVER use baby out of the context of a newborn child is if being sarcastically sympathetic - "aww baby!"

As for boo... well I'd never use it myself but funnily enough it gets used on me a fair bit... look at my name Wink
