I’ve determined after some brief googling that there needs to be invented a more fun word for plant, because all the current alternatives suck

I want a word that is to plants like creatures is to animals

Creeper is pretty cool, but that’s only some plants

Suggestions would be appreciated

i woke up from dream where someone was annoyed at me for making 'zilibrant overgeneralisations'.

zilibrant is not a word, but if it was what would it mean? would it be a synonym for something else, or a word with a new specific meaning?

i think its so interesting how linguistically the kosenamen - pet names and nick names my (american) partner (german) and i have given each other of the course of our relationship so far seem to just keep evolving.

we mix and change german so much its so interesting! so here's the ones he calls me & the progressions!

he started calling me the normal ones such as :

Engel, Engelchen, Engelein (Angel, Little angel)

buuuut also!

Schatz, Schatzi, Schatzilein (Honey, Darling, Sweetheart, little treasure)

• Schatzimatzi - matzi : To be completely honest, I don't think "Matzi" Has a translation, here it's simply a rhyme on the words.

• Schatzipatzi : Patzi is again, a rhyme in this nickname.

•Stinkerschatz / Stinkyschatz - Stinker/Stinky Honey : This originated from me calling him "Stinky/Stinker" He took it and ran with it.

Spatz, Spatzi, Spatzenkind (Literal : Sparrow. Sweetie, Honey, Darling)

• Spatzipatzi : Here's "Patzi" again, we love a little rhyme around here.

• Spatzenbaby - Sweetie baby : This deviated from "Spatzenkind"

• Spatzenmädchen - Sweetie girl : A devation from "Spatzenkind"

• Spatzimaus - Darling mouse : A combination of "Spatz" and "Maus"

• Spatzimausi - See previous.

Maus, Mäuschen, Mausi (Mouse, Little mouse, Mousie)

• Mausipups - Mouse fart : Typically used when im being a bit lazy and "farting around"

• Faulimausi - Lazy mouse : Similar to Mausipups, used in the same way. Delivered most often when I wont get out of bed.

• Mausilein - Little mouse : Similar to "Mäuschen"

• Buchmaus - Book mouse : Often used when i'm engrossed in a book. Which happens more often than not, honestly.

• Mamamaus / Mamimaus - Mama/Mami mouse

• Mausimama - Mousie mama

(these last three are a combination of mama/mami which in my mexican family is pretty normal to call girls/women regardless of if they're mothers)

Next will be one about the one's i've given him & their evolutionary journey!

Rauhaton tuuli kiiti läpi puiden, jotka huokailivat ja taipuivat ja käänsivät kaikki lehtensä nurin. A restless wind rushed through the trees, which sighed and bent and turned all its leaves over.

Se tassutteli hiljaa katolla, rapisteli puutarhassa, suhisi läpi metsän ja tipahteli kaukana Nipsun luolaan. It patted the roof quietly, rustled in the garden, rustled through the forest and dropped far away into Nipsu's cave.

Jossakin salaisessa ja hyvin yksityisessä piilopaikassa töykeä kissanpoika kietoi häntänsä ympärilleen ja nukahti. In some secret and very alone hiding place, the rude kitten wrapped its tail around itself and fell asleep.

(Please correct me if there's any mistakes!)
