Un enigma, sin duda. ;)

Well, you know, the words are the easy part...

Hay personas que usan esos términos muy liberal....a todo mundo le dicen cariño, o mi'ja or mi'jo, mi cielo, mi amor, etc., sin que uno lo sea. Me ha pasado que cuando voy a la estilista se refiere a mi asi: hola cariño.....

Creo que cualquier palabra puede ser "term of endearment" dependiendo el tono de voz.

Elaina:cool:

I've heard/used all of the above. The best one though, was one I heard on the streets of Mexico City, a man called his wife "boloquito mío". :)

Does boloquito mean anything?:confused: Apart from being a term of endearment?

As usual there is a regional taboo here. The word bicho is not a all polite
in the Northeastern United States due to the millions of Puerto Ricans that
live here. It's a vulgar word for penis among Puerto Ricans.

The region where bichito is most commonly used as a term of endearment is Argentina.

Aquí si le dices a un niño que es un bicho, te refieres a que es muy naughty.
Signed: the official:pelota:

Sí, es otro sentido de bicho. Se precisa saber en qué manera se le vaya a entender al usar esta palabra.
