Don't call me Chicken, Pet or hunny please.

Sykk

Unless you're my mother.. Or over the age of 70

"Hi Petal, ah sher isn't the weather great. Have a good one hunny!".. It's even worse when the person is the same age or younger than you.

Do these people not realise how much everyone hates them?

Sheesh

Daisy Steiner

Alright hen, calm down.

PhysiologyRocks

I hate this. It's even weirder when it comes from someone younger than me.

LoanShark

OK Chick, I think we all need to sit down and have a nice cuppa, Will that be alright Pet...

LoanShark

On an another note, Come down to Wexford, You'll really get your kicks.. IN all the shops, "OK HUN,what can I get you?" "Thanks Love!"

DingChavez

I'm not your chicken, pet.

Morlar

I am guessing 'sugar-tits' is out of fashion now too.

Ah good old Wexford. Every second word in a conversation in Wexford town contains the word 'Hun' but it needs to be drawn out like Hhhhhuuuuuuunnnnnnnnn! in order for you to get the full effect!!! 'Alrighhhhhtttt Hhhhhhuuuuuuuunnnnnn?'

I use endearments like this all the time with friends, aquaintances and people I'm being introduced to. All have the grace to accept it as a term of endearment.

AnonoBoy

Ah snookums, are we upset?

Try Nottingham in England, everyone there calls you "duck" or "ducks" ... male, female, young or old, it makes no difference.

My god man, read between the lines! All these women obviously want a little bit more then a friendly chat.

minidazzler

I ****ing HATE people who do this! Especially when they do it to people older than them! A way to belittle people is what it is!!!

Dudess

I think it's sweet when people refer to me in such a manner (within reason - it is a bit weird if they're strangers and the same age as me/keep saying it over and over. Me and my friends always use such terms of endearment though).

Well boy

Just be glad you don't live anywhere around the Thames Estuary or East London. If you watch EastEnders you'll know what I mean!

Are you sat beside me in work? I've got this dumb bint in front of me that anytime she asks anthing, she'll always say 'thanks hun' at the end of every sentence.
I don't condone beating women, but in this case I'm honestly willing to make exceptions for this eejit! :mad:

Executive Steve

I do this compulsively, mostly because I meet a LOT of people and rarely remember their names, so "sunshine", "kiddo", "sugarlips", "sweetcheeks", "petal", "butterfly", "chief", "horse", "babycakes", "sweetie", "darling" etc have to suffice....

Standard Toaster

Hey yo Dollface, relax.

I hate this too. My mate calls me 'Kid' all the time....."Alright Kid" or "Your round Kid" etc.....the fooker is the same age as me.

one guy i did a bit of work for before, he kept calling me "whizzkid", as in "jayz ur a whizzkid", etc. i eventually turned round and told him to stop brown-nosing, i was still going to charge him the same as i charge anyone else! :mad:

get your minds outta the gutter, i do computer repairs for a living!

in secondary school alright everyone used call me my older brothers name because he earned himself a reputation after he flat knocked out a teacher in the class who chose to make an example of him (christian brothers, say no more!), but that used annoy me, never bothered correcting them though, didnt annoy me enough to bother!

actually, now i remember it, a guard called to my door couple o weeks back (nothing i did!), but he recognised ME first, sort of, turned out he was in my younger brothers class in school, but even HE called me by my older brothers name at first!

yeas... it could come in handy!

dont ever come to england,particulary lancashire,the words of endearment like flower,love, ducky,petal ,are used in every sentance

m@cc@

In Belfast, blokes get referred to as 'love' by women all the time. It doesn't bother me, if I'm honest, I don't give it a second thought. I don't have an inferiority complex to begin with.

Pittens

In the UK, love is popular as well as a endearment for all men, by women serving etc. . Up north particularly.

I prefer it to the London scowl.

Call me weird.

I ain't uptight. Are all non-chickens uptight?

Oh I bet you're a pet aren't you!

so u dont even bother to learn someone's name? That's sad, the nicest thing one can hear is the sound of your own name from someone else's lips

Another one I detest is babe, as heard in the nicer parts of Dubland, and when they say, "you're a star"...:mad: p*ss off and dont be so condescending

Dudess

A stranger calling me "babe" would be a bit much all right, or, say, an employer (unless messing) but a friend (m/f): no probs. I like affection.

Happy 20,000 babe! :P

I cringe when I hear young people, younger than me, use these terms to people older than them! It's one thing for a little old lady to do it, but it usually sounds forced from a young person!

Shoesa

I like being called pet names by my friends or by someone who might be trying to be helpful. Some of my friends have been those generic ones, other times I say things like 'kitty,' 'bunny,' 'piggy,' 'snooty' etc.
