One of the first known instances of the term "sweetie pie" was in Sinclair Lewis's 1943 novel Gideon Planish. It is a variant of "sweetheart" and is more common in America than in other English-speaking countries.

What does ma petite mean when jean-claude calls anita Blake ma petite?

"Ma petite means my child." Literaly , in French it means "my child" however in the context of the Anita Blake series he calls her that as a term of endearment and also because she is small "petite" meaning small also. I think lastly also to annoy her as she may be small but in no way would the connotation of "petite" ie fragile apply to Ms. Blake. I think.. "Ma Petite" translates literally as "my small" or "my little" but is meant as "my little one" it is a term of endearment in french much along the lines as "my sweetie pie" Un petit homme - A little man Une petite quantité - a small quantity 'Je t'aime ma petite fille jolie' - I love you my pretty little girl or I love you my pretty daughter
