Most couples have "pet names" for each other; sweet nicknames they call each other to show love and affection. You may think that PilotHusband and AngryPilotWife are beyond such sweetness and cliche, but we are not. Here are some of the pet names I have for PilotHusband, and examples of contextual usage.
"Really" As in, "Really? You're going to watch me change the flat tire on my truck, by myself, while you sit in air conditioned comfort, in your man cave, reading Airline Pilot Central?"
"Seriously" As in, "Seriously, you can't pick up your own uniforms from the Dry Cleaner?"
"Now" As in, "I don't care if its a Wings at War marathon on the Military Channel, turn the volume down, Now".
"I Said No" As in, "I don't care if its the Fourth of July and we have three sticks of construction grade explosives left. You cannot blow them up in the back yard. I Said No".
"Dammit" As in, "Dammit, I told you not to leave your shoes in the doorway".
There are others, of course. I've been known to use "WTF?", and occasionally, "Roll Over", and on rare occasion, "Get Off Me".
To be fair, PilotHusband has his pet names for me. The most common one is "Hey Honey". As in, "Hey Honey, did you pack my bag yet?" or "Hey Honey, is dinner ready yet?" or "Hey Honey, where are my epaulets?"
He has others, for me, of course, including "Shut the F**** Up" and the ever popular, "Because I Said So". Ahhhh. You have to love the "sweet nothings" spoken out of adoration and devotion!

Bill Cosby had a segment on how his little brother actually thought his name was "Dammit" because whenever his father yelled for him it was always preceded by "Dammit".
