to smirk when my sister's fiance calls her darling?

[NoBiggy]

She's middle class all of a sudden. Keep thinking of Richard Briers and Felicity Kendall.

Go on, tell me to grow up.

did you have your paw up too?

When DD was in year 1, DH wen tot collect her and she called "hi darling" across the classroom

her teacher rofld

i can't remember in the best part of a decade together, my dh ever calling me by name! he usually calls me Gorgeousness.

he's clearly deluded, but that's beside the point.

perhaps he just can't remember my name and it's become more and more difficult to ask me as the years have gone by!

"She's middle class all of a sudden". That was in the olriginal post so presumably NoB thinks it is middle class to use "darling"

Then I take it NoB has never been to my home state .

In which case it would be 'darlin' instead of darling, anyhow.

i hate darlign as a term tbh

Well, everyone knows you're a chav, anyhow, Pigsty .

Pigsty prefers 'hun'.

I do. When it's said in that indulgent pat-on-the-bottom-oh-you've-warmed-my-slippers way.

You're maybe thinking something else by the phrase, but I know what I mean, and I'm struggling to convey it. Reggie and Elizabeth Perrin. Bit like that.

dh cals me sweetheart

i think - once a year or thereabouts.

my Dh calls me honey and recently DD (2 in June) has starting shouting honey at me - funny and embarassing at the same time.

I don't have a nickname for my dp. He calls me cat. Probably as my favourite occupation is sleeping .
