What does cutesy pie mean?

Cutesy pie is a less common way of saying cutie pie—a term of endearment and affection that’s especially used to refer to or to address young children, much like sweetheart, sweetie, or darling.You can call a young child a cutesy pie or you can address a young child as cutesy pie, as in Hey, cutesy pie! I missed you!When used as an adjective by itself, the word cutesy means cute in a forced way, but it doesn’t have this sense when it’s used in cutesy pie.Though it’s less common, the term cutesy pie can be used to refer to or address a person whom one considers attractive. Because the term is most typically used to refer to children, calling an adult a cutesy pie is likely to be considered demeaning. Still, it’s possible that cutesy pie can be directed toward someone other than a young child in a way that’s not considered demeaning, especially when it comes from a person they love as a term of affection.The hyphenated form cutesy-pie can be used as an adjective. It’s often used to mean the same thing as cute, as in I love the little cutesy-pie baby shoes—they’re so precious! Example: Your nephew is such a cutesy pie—look at that sweet face!
