billet doux 

a personal letter to a loved one expressing affection.
My boyfriend wrote me the sweetest billet doux during our anniversary.
A creature that inhabits the rural areas of the Baltic, most commonly found in Estonia. It resembles a hamster with a tail of a skunk and the head of a hippo. In nature they are considered to be very shy, unsocial with very bad eye sight. When compared to other creatures in the animal kingdom what stands out most about these little critters is that they never ever, EVER, leave their parents and are directly in need of them even when they have offspring of their own. The main reason why this creature is so rare is due to its lack of the " social gene " which limits their mating capabilities to pure dumb luck. The creature even though considers it self superior to every other creature in fact is the most inferior being in the entire tree of life. Scientists are still baffled at how it is still alive. Oh well " Dumb Luck " right ?
I'd rather have Justin Bieber as my room mate than to have a Drougluin living in my neighborhood.
