I sometimes find myself saying to shop keepers "thanks me duck" ffs I hate the term so why have I started using it

Neither of us like terms like babe or honey unless we are talking to each other.

so does that mean terms of endearment are cool from friends but a no no from strangers as i can't deny i do use them with total strangers too like i would say "excuse my please lovey" or when recieving change i would say "cheers hun"

am i offending strangers unwittingly?

i hope not as i won't change i am who i am like it or lump it

coming from the black country, i call pretty much every female i come into contact ith 'babb'.

took Em a while to get used to it thinking i was calling them babe lol.

just a saying really, means nothing but better than being called fella or bloke or summat.

much kinder and nicer to hear i feel.

The first time I was called 'cock' by an elderly gentleman threw me a bit. I'm pretty sure it's a northern thing.

I hate being called babe, a revolting term strictly for loving couples. I don't mind honey, treacle or lovey or anything else just not babe or love. To be honest though it's the way it's said, a patronising type way that annoys me more. Not quite sure given my thoughts on the use if babe, why a bus man would use the term but its daft telling them off for it

Treacle and honey- both are sweet and thick.

I use "Mate" a lot, as I am really bad at putting names to faces.

Tend to use 'luv' with women, & 'mate' with men. Never had anyone make a fuss though

Affectionate terms such as those I have no problem with, in fact it's quite nice.

What I don't like is feeling patronised, and being called 'mate' by guys I don't know, who are young enough to be my kids, has that effect. Incredibly I was even called 'young man' last year by a hotelier (I'm in my 40s!). I should be flattered but I wasn't; maybe I'm over-sensitive but I feel those to whom you are the customer should be respectful and not behave like they have known you for years - unless you invite that kind of familiarity. It should be your choice, they shouldn't assume.

No problems with 'love' or 'chuck' etc. But I can see that if I were a woman I might feel differently, more like the feelings I described above perhaps.

The only things I dont like being called are Mate except when m x husband use to call me it because I was infact his mate and the other 1 is Bird , normal answer to that is I dont have feathers so I am not a bird .

My son is a doorman (bouncer) and he was told a couple of years back that door and bar staff were not to address any female customer with a term of endearment as it is now classed as sexual harassment

Been a Yorkshire lass i call everyone love, but once i moved to Cannock i used to get some funny looks when i called people love, everyone says bab down here, which i found strange as i was used to bab been a crude word for poo in Yorkshire

Needless to say i have adopted the term and its even funnier when i go back to Yorkshire, forget where i am and call people bab, the looks i get are priceless

peak district

Bus drivers around here call everyone "me duck" - first time just after I'd settled here I though the bus driver was gay and fancied me! In my home county of Devon everyone is "my 'andsome" and where Rose came from in London everyone was called "cock" (short for cock sparrow she thinks). My dad was a geordie and called everyone "pet".

Long may it all continue, that's one of the joys of our native English culture, even though the government tries to convince us that we haven't got one and everyone else's is better!
