TMI

Lover is one of those words that you just shouldn't use to describe yourself in public. I mean when is this ever appropriate? "My love" is kind of endearing, but LUVER? Unless that is your last name, I am giving this the HLP Creeptastic Seal of Disapproval.

I instantly thought of this sketch with Christopher Walken, Rachel Dratch, Will Ferrell, and Ana Gasteyer on Saturday Night Live titled "Patio Lovers":

Virginia: Well, are you at the point in your relationship when you can walk hand-in-hand as lovers?
Catherine: I, um, guess so.
Walter: Actually, we haven't been seeing each other all that long.
Virginia: Oh, I see. So in due time, eh lover?
Roger: [as he rubs Virginia's arms] Yes, Virginia. I remember our first days of courtship as if it were yesterday. Eager drives to Holyoke. Passionate cries of love making muffle into a feather pillow in order to avoid waking your roommate Chin Le. [kisses Virginia]
Virginia: Oh, yes, yes. Fond memories, my lover prince.
