In the US, I have a feeling I'd get bitch slapped if I used that phrase in casual conversation with women. Must be different on the other side of the Atlantic.

Just as a point, in Britain - Bristol, England to be specific - I was routinely called "luv" (
as in, a cab driver saying, "Where to, luv?") and "babber" (
as in, "Awlrite me babber?" )
luv = love
babber = baby/friend
Awlrite me babber = Hey, how's it going? ("Alright my friend?")
Heh, if you all are having this much trouble with "hon" and "sweetie," you haven't seen the world.
I luved liven in Bristle, I did. Tho, mauve yer in Californiawl now. I luved me those cabbies; them blokes is mint. When I wonna lern the krekt waiter's peak Brissle, I ast them, I does. Them smart innum?
