Toots

As a word, "toots" refers to short, sharp sounds, often made by a horn, while as an old fashioned term of endearment, it could be compared to "honey", "darling", or "sweetheart". Also used to describe letting out wind, it has become slang for getting very drunk, snorting drugs, and for rubbish or tat.

Unsurprisingly, the nickname isn't heard very often anymore, though it does appear in the British comic, The Beano, borne by Kate "Toots" Pye from "The Bash Steet Kids".

Pronounced TOOTS.

As of October 2026, Toots ranked #4893 for girls in US births in 1915 SSA.
