How about "Twinkie"?

I was in the kitchenette at work yesterday, talking to a co-worker, when I noticed a cupcake on the ledge a little ways away. Because my eyes and mouth are wired directly together, without any impediment from my brain, I said, "cupcake". Then I noticed that another coworker, call her T, was standing just barely off to the side of my line of sight to the cupcake. So I spent a few seconds 'splaining what was going on, and that I wasn't calling her "cupcake".
T's boyfriend sits very near [info]hippochick.
So, on my trip to the car after work (we park near [info]hippochick), I got two requests to not call T "cupcake".

That is pretty funny. Gotta watch what you call people around here. For instance, I do not appreciate being called "rutabaga". Or really anything in the vegetable realm. *g*

I'll keep that in mind, Lamb Chop.
