Definition

A vintage term of endearment meaning "baby" or "sweetheart," exclusively reserved for people who wish they lived in a 1940s film noir. Using this unironically today will earn you either nostalgic points or confused stares, depending on your audience's age and tolerance for anachronisms.

Example Usage

He called his girlfriend 'toots' and she immediately questioned whether he'd been watching too many Humphrey Bogart movies again.
