Love brings the best out of us, but it also brings out the weirdest in us, as we call one another the strangest things, such as “pumpkin”, “cutie pie” and more saccharine-dripping names which would be very awkward to translate into other languages. Well, you’ll be relieved to find out other languages are just as odd about their terms of endearment, and here are some of the best examples of that.
