If someone calls someone 'sweetcheeks' what does that mean?

Just curious to people's thoughts on the meaning.

My American friend uses it as an affectionate term. Like sweetie, honey pie, hey sugar.
Nothing untoward.

BitOfFun · 24/12/2019 20:35

Cute face, I would assume.

Because I asked a question I'm unreasonable?

I wanted a non biased opinion of the term. So deliberately with held context.

Ooh no, not to a daughter!!
To a partner yes but daughter nooooo!

It doesn't mean anything, I know it's used on a tv programme but I can't place which one. The only way to know what someone means by it is to ask him, and I say him as I can't imagine a woman ever saying it

Funny how 98% of people say I'm being unreasonable when they have no idea why I asked

That's why I voted you were unreasonable. 🤷

TBH. I didn't even register the 'gorgeous daughter' I wouldn't have bought it based on that but like I said, I was having a meltdown and just grabbed the first daughter card I saw that looked nice.

I bought a card for DDs birthday, just grabbed it as the pic was cute and shop was heaving.

It says To a gorgeous daughter...

Then inside. Happy birthday sweetcheeks

Just thought it was weird.

I always thought it meant you have a nice arse.

My DH says it to me sometimes in a (terrible) American accent, it's just a slight cheesy term of endearment to me. I don't consider it to have anything to do with ones arse!

BikeRunSki · 24/12/2019 20:13

It’s a term of endearment, but cheeky. I associate it with Nessa from Gavin and Stacey.

Igotthemheavyboobs · 24/12/2019 20:08

It's a term I only use if pretending to be a 1950s New York Gangster, which is surprisingly often Grin

MrsTerryPratchett · 24/12/2019 20:05

Same as sugar tits, it’s a funny way of saying hello gorgeous!

And equally inappropriate from most people!

Think it's a "nice bum" kinda comment...

steff13 · 24/12/2019 19:58

It could be a term of endearment, it could be sarcastic. Without the context it's impossible to know.

AfterSchoolWorry · 24/12/2019 19:57

😂

Only way I've ever heard it used is to mean 'nice arse'.

amusedbush · 24/12/2019 19:56

It could either be used as a term of endearment or (more often than not) to be condescending.

Jollitwiglet · 24/12/2019 19:55

I personally think it's patronising and have never come across it to be meant in a genuinely nice way

NoHummus · 24/12/2019 19:54

I thought it meant "nice arse' too.

ChristmasCroissant · 24/12/2019 19:54

Impossible to say as it would depend on the context.

There's a lot of these threads at the moment Hmm

MitziK · 24/12/2019 19:53

They've watched too many US shows where it's used as a demeaning insult to women.

ToPlanZ · 24/12/2019 19:17

I thought it meant nice bum

DdraigGoch · 24/12/2019 17:29

Wiktionary says that it means "attractive buttocks".

Butterymuffin · 24/12/2019 17:28

Only actually used to be patronising in my experience

Teenagemaw · 24/12/2019 17:26

Men say it to be condescending to younger women in my experience Crown Sad
