Just curious to people's thoughts on the meaning.

It's affectionate in a condescending way. Horribly inappropriate if you don't know someone but some men use it to women they don't know, that's really gross, if this is you, please stop!

Dirty. “All right treacle?” Type of thing.

It’s a term of endearment honey bunch angel pie.

PawPawNoodle · 24/12/2019 17:25

I've only ever heard it in a demeaning or patronising way.

Term of endearment.

It’s just a cutesy pet name in my experience? I don’t really hear people in the UK use it much (at least not where I live) so I associate it as more of an American term

SofiaAmes · 24/12/2019 17:24

Without context it's just a term of endearment, like "sweet heart."

It’s a term of endearment
It doesn’t really mean anything

Nothing? It's just a term of endearment. I guess it could be used in a flirty way, but not necessarily. You'd know from the context.

They're cute? Smiley? Chubby cheeked?

cardibach · 24/12/2019 17:22

I don’t really think of it ‘meaning’ anything. Just used in a slightly condescending manner.

Cherry321 · 24/12/2019 17:22

I’ve always interpreted it a bit like ‘sweet heart’

Think it’s positive?

Me and mine use it as a cheeky and affectionate term.of endearment.

Strange question though! What's up?
