Term Of Endearment
A term of endearment is a word or phrase used to address or describe a person, animal or inanimate object for which the speaker feels love or affection. Terms of endearment are used for a variety of reasons, such as parents addressing their children and sexual partner, lovers addressing each other. Etymology Such words may not in their original use bear any resemblance in meaning to the meaning attached when used as a term of endearment, for example calling a significant other "pumpkin". Some words are clearly derived from each other, such as "sweetheart" and "sweetie", while others bear no etymological resemblance, such as "baby", "babe", and "cutie". "Honey" has been documented as a term of endearment from at least the 14th century. "Baby" was first used in 1839 and "sugar" only appeared as recently as 1930. Usage Each term of endearment has its own connotations, which are highly dependent on the situation they are used in, such as tone of voice, body language, and soci ...

Fulton, ASC was forbidden from working on serials) and Columbia Pictures. Their success came from building large, detailed models a ...
