I'm looking for endearments that a father might use for his young children - especially his sons. They're under the age of ten.

Thanks in advance!

ETA: The dad is going to be Harry and it's present day.

I was using Stumble Upon earlier this morning when it led me to The (Very) Best of British Slang -- The American's Guide to Speaking British list. It's a really long list so I'm not going to copy and paste all of it, but I figured I could share the first part and let you bookmark it for future use perhaps?

Behind the cut is the list from 'Ace' to 'Arse over tit', emphasis comes from the original article.

Is a baseball cap called something different in England? Is it maybe enough to just write cap?

Title:  Threshold
Author:  kellychambliss  
Pairing:  Snape  / McGonagall
Word Count:  100 x 4
Rating:  PG-13
Summary:  Severus and Minerva at Hogmanay
A/N:  Last summer, I decided to write a SS/MM one-shot, and the pairing hasn't loosened its grip on me since.  So I thought I might as well head into the new year with them.  This four-drabble series was written for the "First Footer" prompt at Snape100.  My thanks, as always, to therealsnape, beta and friend extraordinare.
