'All right love..'

[cornsilx]

don't know whether to put this here but it's bugging me. People who use 'love' to refer to women when they disagree with them. 'All right love...' kind of thing. Usually men but sometimes women do this as well.

< cheesey grin >

ho - kay now what was that about calling people "love" ?

< tumbleweed >

shit

I hate being called 'dear'...or 'hun'

AF dh was a feathery stroker, well meaning people telling you that open and sensitive communication are the key to resolving this are liars.

I eventually found the best way to resolve it were wondering off to make a cup of tea or opening a conversation about the following weeks premiereship fixtures were much more effective. It was a win win situation either he put the correct effort into getting me back into bed or shutting me up, happy times or he didn't and I got a cuppa or interesting conversation

He was worth the effort.

I dumped my feathery stroker, but he was a bit shit in other ways than in the sack

so it was a win/win situation for me

Oh dear. I use love all the time.
But I don't think I use it in that slightly sarcastic way, I do know what you mean.

AF normally I would have been the same, but theirs something snout dh and until I can damn well figure out what it is I can't bring myself to get rid

Dh does darling whether addressing girls, boys, womens, dogs and big hairy blokes

Snout?
About

I need to fix the keyboard on my phone this is getting embarrassing.

Hd, I am sure your dh has other great qualities and can be trained out of his feathery stroking

my guy was a bollock brain as well

Dammit when they can't shag and they can't think they have to go

Honey i've just realised I dont really have an affectionate term for anyone!...I have a Northern friend and mostly call him a twat...he says its the norm there

Ooooh you need one immediately. You've got loads to choose from on the thread.

"hun"? no maybe not...."chick...spelt chic".

"dude"?

I need to know about the sexist monkfish

Dude could work, ease yourself in gently.

probably less ofensive than "twat"

I may learn to spell too

I call people 'Treacle' quite a lot.

I quite like "sunshine" sometimes

TBF DH is a bit of a feathery striker at times. And I'd never quite been able to describe the feeling it gave me, but "setting ones teeth on edge" has just nailed it.

He often has his hand slapped away

Poor guy.

Yes that's right DH is a feathery striker.

He is a very timid and gentle goal scorer.

Ah yes, I have indeed known feathery stroking, whilst wanting to be taken in a rough and lewd manner .. ta for putting me straight on that!

I use petal and flower, but very selectively, and I call most of DS and DD's friends sunshine when I can't remember their names.

I am afraid it affects me selectively depending on who is calling me what!

I also hate glib compliments. But that's another story...

I hate being called "love" by someone I don't know. My guilty secret is that I call people "mate" when I can't remember their name!

"Love" is a dreadful, patronising term.

Bonsoir what is the Parisian equivalent of cocker or wee hen?
