Definition
Plural of sweetie; term of endearment for people you like, or British slang for candy and sweets.
Etymology
From 'sweetie,' a diminutive form of 'sweet' with the suffix '-ie.' In British English, 'sweets' is candy, so 'sweeties' is a casual plural. The term of endearment developed from calling someone sweet.
Kelly Says
In British English, 'sweeties' means candy, but in American English, the same word means people you care about—the same word refers to two totally different things depending on which side of the Atlantic you're on!
