It would be nice to refer to you as any of these names to other people. I think it would make them happy as it would make me.

Language elevates and language is playful. I’d like to tell my future co-workers that I’m going out to dinner, not with my boyfriend, but with the light of my life, or my stud muffin, or my joy toy. Any of those things. The world should be peppered with such loving words.

I want a word to use on even the most casual or mundane settings that refers to you and which lets others know that I love you ridiculously.
