babe
Honey, but cooler
Babe is an affectionate term for a baby or small child, now somewhat old-fashioned in that sense.
More commonly, babe is a term of endearment for a romantic partner: Hey babe, how was your day?
It also refers to an attractive person, especially a woman: She's a total babe.
The phrase babe in the woods describes someone naive or inexperienced. (Capitalized Babe is a given name or nickname.)
