I've used 'her indoors' from Arthur Daley in Minder (UK TV show); the 'Long-haired Sargeant Major'; 'Domestic Commanding Officer' and other military based variations.

 

But usually just 'Yes Dear'!

There is a "Sticky" thread that discusses this topic....however, it doesn't really give all of the information.

Due to watching too much Star Trek Next Gen, I just refer to her as "Number One". Elevating her to the position of gold on the podium, it also leaves open the possibility of sequels.

Picard often referred to Ryker as "Number One".

 

In college, DW and I took a cooking class together, while we were in our dating days. Of course we chose each other as lab partners, and when she once called me "sweetheart" while negotiating whether we'd put enough shortening in a pie crust, that set me up for a lot of ribbing for the rest of the term from the three other guys in the class, the three football jocks. They called me "Sweetheart" for the rest of the term.

 

Knowing ahead of time how stuffy our prof was reputed to be, I sneaked an apple to the corner of her desk on the first day of the term. The three jocks took up the gauntlet from then on, and put whatever kind of food was the subject of the lecture on her desk ever after. Late in the term, when the topic was slated to be food poisoning and contamination, the prof requested that they refrain from the tradition.

 

All this was long before Jean-Luc Picard's term of affection for his faithful sidekick commander, so DW (DGF at the time) and I groped for terms of endearment for many years before "Number One" became the term I use most often. Others taking their turn along the way were "Bride of my Youth", "Jelly BonBon", "Throb of my Heart", and upon occasion, "Ball of my Chain".
