   1 I agree, just adding an “e” at the end makes it funny. Your boyfriend sounds awesome, I’m jealous. So.. does he have a brother?

   3 Where did that part on nicknames come from?! I think I’m going nuts ’cause I didn’t see it. And I’d have to agree with Hot French Canadian Boyfriend, mon petit ange is so gay but cherie is cute. And hey! what’s wrong with ma petite?! That’s cute too.

   4 Ha, ha. I’ve got to ask: do you keep a quote book? I do. The Fiance features regularly.

   5 Author Comment Wendy, “ma petite” was forever ruined for me by Laurell K. Hamilton. That is what Jean-Claude the vampire calls the ickilicious Anita Blake. And HFBC has a brother. He’s 24 and an actor-slash-model. Kate, I SHOULD keep a quote book. HFCB is a goldmine.

   6 Ewww, that sucks. Heh, ickylicious. I’m so staying away from Hamilton’s books. Oh, nice. Hook me up, Bam! lol. And years from now, you can sell the quote book and make a ton of money!

   7 Two things: 1) Clearly he’s never seen the ad, “With a name like ma petite, we have to kick your ass.” 2) I cannot hear the word “vah-geen” without thinking of Borat. Is it wrong I liked that movie as much as I did?

   8 Very cute! I’m jealous too! So about this brother… O:-D

   9 JSL, he’s mine, beotch! Back off! Ahem.

    10 Awww, he sounds adorable (pronounced ah-dohr-AH-bluh ). My own DBF is from W. Africa and we spoke primarily French together for the first few years of our relationship (more English now since we’re in the States). Trying to remember some of the pet names…and in fact, the ones that come to mind are ‘cherie’ and ‘mon amour’. Then again, we save all of our really fun nicknames for his native language, Bambara. Nothing says lovin’ like n’diarabi. *g*

    11 Author Comment 2) I cannot hear the word “vah-geen” without thinking of Borat. Is it wrong I liked that movie as much as I did? Ann, it’s okay, HFCB and I quote from Borat ALL the time. I like to say, “Very niiiice. How much?” Then again, we save all of our really fun nicknames for his native language, Bambara. Nothing says lovin’ like n’diarabi. *g* Sula, sometimes I call him “mahal” (which is “dear” or “love” in Tagalog) or “bebs” (which is really just a Filipino mispronunciation of “babe”).

    12 Lol, those are great. He sounds adorable.

13. sula Posted: Feb 19th, 2008 at 5:56 am

    13 Sula, sometimes I call him “mahal” (which is “dear” or “love” in Tagalog) or “bebs” (which is really just a Filipino mispronunciation of “babe”). You gotta love the inter-cultural romance. Makes life more interesting.

    14 I hesitate (briefly) to admit that Tumperkin is not only a pet-name bestowed by my husband, but was in fact invented for the purposes of a SONG he made up which he used to sing to me in a silly voice. I was going to quote it but really, I don’t think I should say any more.

15. Christine Posted: Feb 19th, 2008 at 7:24 pm

    15 I think French pet names are very sweet. Like ‘mon petit chou.’ Doesn’t that mean ‘my little cabbage’? Well… its very sweet in French, anyway. I used to call my husband (he’s Filipino) ‘my oriental beep.’ No offense to anyone Asian… its a nickname derived from the Lean Cuisine frozen dinners he used to serve me if I got stuck at his place for a meal. When he would offer me the Oriental Beef variety, I would reply with a “No, thanks. I’ve already had my oriental beef.” Heh. Then I started pronouncing ‘beef’ the Filipino way and the nickname became ‘my oriental beep.’ Not as cute as a cabbage. Tumperkin, I think you just have to share some of those lyrics now.

    16 Author Comment Marc and I have been teaching each other to cuss. His contribution is French, while mine is American, i.e. cocksucker, motherfucker, douchebag, fucktard, douchetard, c*ntrag, bitchface, dickhead… and so on and so forth.

    17 Haha! Love it. How to know your husband of almost seven years knows you and loves you madly: he buys you books instead of flowers for Valentine’s Day. And thanks to some of the books I had added to my wishlist after reading reviews of them on here, this means I now have the start of the psy/changeling series. Which also means that I owe you one…

18. MaryM Posted: Feb 22nd, 2008 at 1:18 pm

    18 Lol. You and Halle Berry! French Canadians are HOT. And more romantic than the average north-american male in my opinion. My ex was great with surprising romantic gestures, like that huge framed Phantom of the Opera poster he set up on my bed with candles around and the red rose with a black ribbon. My brother’s taken to doing hand-made valentine’s day cards and calling his girlfriend “mon beau ti-bébé chéri d’amour adoré” (long form) or “mon bébé” (short form) - possessive determiner “mon” being very important here . Glad that Cupid is being good to you !

    19 Honey, if I have a french bf, I won’t give a damn what he calls me. Hecan say “pass me the butterknife” and it’ll still sound to me like he’s talking sexy and dirty.
