כפרה
The word is spelt: Kaf Peh Resh Heh. The literal meaning of the word is expiation or atonement (as in Yom Kipur, Day of Atonement).Also, pardon, forgiveness, indulgence, expiation, propitiation, and absolution.
However this word is commonly used as slang for 'darling' or 'Love' when it is used for short of "Kapara Alecha / Ala'ich", which expresses a wish of well being (or godly pardon) to the person to whom it is told.
Occasionally it carries a sarcastic intent when it is used for reserved criticism, or a greeting with a teasing tone.
