And likewise for other languages. This type of category seems to fit better under the "lexicons" category, like Category:English pejoratives which is almost its antonym. —CodeCat 14:46, 5 July 2014 (UTC)
- I think this class of terms might even deserve a bit more broad category of "affectionate terms"; to me, "terms of endearment" implies that the terms in question are used mostly in a vocative context, while there are some words like pociecha which are usually not (not in English, but I figure that the renaming the category will imply the same renaming for all languages, so we might as well mention it here). I have added a few of these with an "affectionate" context label. — Keφr 15:21, 5 July 2014 (UTC)
I've created Category:English affectionate terms. Now we need to empty out the old categories. —CodeCat 17:09, 17 July 2014 (UTC)
