honeypie

Sugary term, beloved

Honeypie is a term of endearment, sweeter and more playful than honey alone.

It's used for romantic partners, children, or anyone the speaker finds dear: Come here, honeypie.

The word belongs to a family of affectionate food compounds—honeybun, sugar pie, sweetie pie—that equate loved ones with pleasant tastes.
