cutie patootie
Little charming darling
Cutie patootie is a playful, affectionate term for someone adorable—typically used with children, pets, or romantic partners.
The rhyming reduplication gives it a deliberately silly, saccharine quality: Who's my little cutie patootie?
Adults using it with each other usually signal playfulness or ironic affection.
