being a true southern gal..I use the words sugar,baby,dear and luv frequently...I rarely say hun

In public I use Dee..it is a derivative of my work name and similar to my RW name...so I just feel comfortable using it.

plz dont take offensive if I call you sugar,baby,dear or luv..it is just how I was raised!

I hate being called hun, it sounds condescending to me for some reason. I also hate to be called Bud by another guy. I don't mind pet names, in fact I like them....but I hate Hun...

I married a waitress. I think it is the standard vocabulary everywhere in the nation that waitresses call all their customers 'Hun'. I assumed it was short for 'honey'.

Guess it’s my age of 74 but when a female refers to me as ‘hun’ I gotta admit it gives the grey ego a jumpstart! That said the term that annoys me the most is “You guys” like when I’m leaving a restaurant with my wife after a lunch and the person at the door says “Thank you guys, have a nice evening.”
re: "You Guys"

LOL. You CLEARLY did not grow up in the midwest where "you guys" = "y'all."

Because I did not grow up down here, the thing I HATE (abhor?) is being called "Ma'am"

Or Western PA where it's "Yinz" or Philly where it's "Youse"

Just a contraction for:
Honey
Honey bunch
Honey bear
Honey bee
Honey bunny
Honey buns
Honey lamb
Honey lips
Honey love
Honey muffin
Honey pie
Honey plum

But, I swear if the civie and the pros I date actually use the exact same label, I'll think all women are telepathic.

I hate when the tool is just unwrapped and they say "well hi big boy "
Someone uses that on me, I KNOW they're lying.

Now there were two ladies standing there, the first lady had more teeth, the second lady only had one tooth showing, and they were both grey haired [mostly white haired].

I explained that after so many years on Active Duty I am firmly in the habit of calling the ladies "ma'am", and she backed down.

It seems the lady with one tooth has a husband who is a retired marine [he came when she called him], so she understood the etiquette.

Eventually the first lady [with multiple teeth] seemed to wind down and lose interest in chewing me out for the insult.

I am so glad that neither of those women are my wife. I hate getting old, but being married to something like that, ... I dont know if I would ever be sober again.
