Thanks for the info. I knew it was probably one of those regional things. I'm not in Britain so I have never heard that term before. It's a great term of endearment & it also being a candy makes it extra sweet

I found it on the author's journal from a story that sammyndeansgrl1 wrote on Padackles. Here is a link to bring you to that part of her journal (if you copy & paste because I don't know how to make it link directly) if you are interested in reading. It's under the Wincest stories & all of her stories are quite good.
