Guy de Maupassant

It's easy to test your feelings for a man who claims to be more than just being friends with you. It is enough to imagine how he calls you "little mouse" or "kisuli". If such words, mentally flying out of his mouth, cause rejection, rejection, almost disgust in your soul: "Fu, this is a disgusting lisp," - then such a man will not wait for love and tenderness from you soon.

But if the same diminutive words like "honey" and even, maybe (oh, horror!) "Musi-pusi", spoken in a low, aspirated voice, confuse you, drive you into paint, seem ridiculous, but still please, there is a chance that you really care about this man!

Nobody knows when the first pet word appeared. Most likely, this happened at the dawn of mankind, at the very moment when our ancient ancestor, who had recently learned to speak, tenderly looked at his dearest half, who had prepared a hearty dinner for him, and, melting with pleasure and fullness of life, uttered something like: "Tyutyunya is sweet!" And the other half, bowing his shaggy head on the shoulder of his beloved, in turn purred: "Good dog!"

You can endlessly invent nicknames. But for some reason, whatever one may say, ninety percent of them fit into certain categories, and the remaining ten can be called the fruits of the imagination of the most inventive of lovers.

Imechko

Zhorik, Helen, Irisha, Petunchik, Vanechka, Nastyushka, Olenka-Lukolenka … The most pleasant word for any person is his name, pronounced with tenderness by a beloved creature. And since this name in the process of falling in love begins to be pronounced very often, for a change it is overgrown with all sorts of diminutive-affectionate suffixes and funny prefixes.

Flora and fauna

A cat, a bunny, a mouse, a swallow, a fish, a hamster, a flower, a fox, a baby elephant, an electric skatik, a crocodile, a reed, a fly agaric …

One of the most impressive in terms of volume categories of affectionate nicknames. A rare girl never called her lover a bunny (regardless of height, weight, ears size and presence / absence of a tail), and a rare young man did not name his beloved kisul. Probably, the whole point is in the pleasant pronunciation of these words and in the fact that the world of wildlife is closest to us, humans, so we would rather compare our beloved with a mouse or chanterelle than with some kind of food processor, VCR or lawn mower.

Kindergarten

A boy, a girl, a baby, a baby, a pupsik, my little (mine) … A woman who calls her man that way, or a man who calls his woman that way, experiences some semblance of parental feelings. He or she feels (exactly at the moment of uttering these words!) A patroness (body), a stronger being.

Bill Clinton called Monica Lewinsky "baby". How else could the President of America address a young intern, whose name he might not have known at the time of their meeting in the notorious oval office?

Why don't you like your name: Many people sincerely believe that it is the unloved name that prevents them from finding love, a good job, loyal friends and other benefits of life. Is this so and what do psychologists say about it? Read more…

I said - hunchback

Shaggy, gray, bald, red, freckled, green, purple, smoked, salty …

Such nicknames for one, more often external sign are usually given to each other by teenagers in companies. Lovers soften them to "redhead" and "grayish".

Confectionery factory

Chocolate, candy, sweet, juicy, peach, berry, tasty, aromatic … Such diminutive words are most often addressed to a beloved woman who is so seductive that she wants to eat her.

Singer Eminem, when he had an affair with a gorgeous woman Kim Bessinger, called his passion "my sweet pot of honey." And Kim, who, by the way, is almost 20 years older than her boyfriend, did not mind, did not wrinkle her nose, but listened and smiled.

Musi-pusi

There are no such words in dictionaries, but they are well known. Their essence is in tenderly lisping sounds, which are pleasant to pronounce and listen to lovers: musya, pusya, paws, lyulya, mulya. Moreover, once, in deep childhood, mummy bent over our bed and tenderly lisped and laughed in response to the important googling coming from under the lace cap, calming her beloved child. Back to infancy? Well, some people like it.

My precious

Joy, sun, love, life, happiness, morning, dawn, miracle, magic, dream, angel, star, gold and their derivatives.

A universal human idea of what is the best on earth, what is the meaning of life, what brings pleasure. These are the words that the beloved give to each other.

Marshal Zhukov called his wife "my warm sun". Nestor Makhno said to his dearly beloved girl Nastenka "my golden sun". Vladimir Mayakovsky called his beloved Lilya Brik "The Sun is the Brightest".

Here it is - the connection of times, generations, different people and destinies. Poets, generals, heroes of the people and the most ordinary people, without saying a word, call their beloved women as their hearts tell them: the sun!

Full Name

It happens that wives call their husbands by their last names, especially when they tell their friends about them. Usually their tone is rather ironic. Like, my Melikhov did something yesterday - he was poking around in the garage, "a group of contacts is burnt, and the car is not insured, if it drives into a foreign car, you won't pay for a century!" And men, in turn, depicting a mocking seriousness about their wife's actions, sometimes call her by her first name and patronymic: "Maria Stepanovna today decided to ruin us - she bought herself a blouse."

Calf tenderness

Some argue that they are turned away by all sorts of "kisul" and "bunnies": "Isn't it possible to call each other only by name without diminutive suffixes, and call your husband simply" husband "," he ", or" mine "? " Perhaps such serious comrades are too tight-lipped in relations with the opposite sex, or, most likely, they simply have not yet met the one to whom some kind or funny word like "snumsmumrik" is the best fit.

True, the mega-star Madonna in one of her interviews said that when she and her husband stay at home alone, the husband begins to refer to her simply as "wife" and "Mrs.", and she calls him "my old man." After everything that Madonna has done in her life, perhaps such simple words addressed to herself are the most pleasant thing that she would like to hear.

Unknown animals

There are such amazing nicknames, the meaning of which is not so easy to explain to others, and it is not always necessary. The most important thing is that they are understandable to HIM and HER, and remind of some pleasant or funny moment of life together. Here are the nicknames that ladies from Internet forums exchange with their beloved ones:

"My beloved calls me fluffy crocozyabra."

"And I call my husband Fuzzy! And we also call each other sausages! And when we swear, we also happen to be poop! But just recently, just the other day, my husband and I came up with new affectionate words (affectionate words)! He calls me" plus " "(formed from" bun "), and I -" minuska "! This is our attraction!"

"Since my husband's surname (well, now mine too) ends in -ov, then changing the ending to -ovich, -evich or -owski turns out to be very funny, although not politically correct (forgive me -ovichi, -evichi, - ovsky). I use it on special occasions!"

: "He's a loving little one. Or in parts of the body: a priest, a little foot, a little belly, a pot-bellied. A laugh."

And here

Your Majesty, King, Handsome, Lapik, Lioness, My man, Murzik, Tigris, The Best of universe, Einstein.

No more and no less! And we are here with our musi-dogs. I propose to supplement this list with Maniyvelichik!

Agree, with such diminutive words, the life of lovers is much more fun than without them. Of course, not all friends are sure to hear how you affectionately and funny call your husband. Indeed, for colleagues, for example, he is a serious person, Ivan Ivanovich, sometimes harsh, sometimes self-confident in upholding his principles, collected, tuned in to the result. But it is all the more pleasant for this serious person to return home in the evening, where his beloved Mashenka is waiting, and where he becomes Vanyusha, a soft, good-natured affectionate cat who growls with pleasure when stroking his fur, thereby relieving the stresses that have accumulated in both of you per day.

We define his feelings by behavior after sex: If your man immediately runs out of bed to the shower, then to the refrigerator and for a smoke break, then do not think that the whole point is that he is sweating, hungry and a heavy smoker. Everything is much more complicated. Read more…
