poppets
Endearing little ones
Poppets is a British term of endearment for children or loved ones, similar to "sweethearts" or "darlings": Come along, poppets.
The word derives from puppet, suggesting something small and cherished.
In mechanical contexts, a poppet is a valve component that moves up and down, as in an engine's poppet valve.
