Toad, is my husbands nickname/term of endearment for me and sometimes he will just blurt it out randomly for no reason. He uses it so frequently I'm not sure he even remembers my real name.

Twat.
We use it as a term of endearment a lot.

Same here, dh and I use Twat a lot. Sometimes in fun often in judgment.
its easy to spell twat using your hands if it’s not acceptable to say out loud. 😀

”Disaster” is a word which is overused.
