What do people call others.....?

Question

Darling, honey, sweetie, sweetheart, baby, etc especially people you don't know.

Answer 1

I call people i can't remember their names (especially children) buddy or mister for boys, and missy for girls. If it is at church, I say hermano, or hermana because I go to church w/ people who speak spanish and we call each other brother and sister. I just call my husband babe as a nickname.

Answer 2

My oral surgeon does that, but boy is he dreamy. Some people you don't mind, ya know.  

Answer 3

I typically call someone whose name I've forgotten "sweetie"; some people find this endearing but it definitely depends on who is saying it.

Answer 4

They may know they have a bad memory when it involves names so to avoid looking foolish they just call everyone by the same name.

My boyfriend calls me either baby or babe and I like it.

Does it bother you that much?

Answer 5

Well if ur dating someone they will call you those..or if someone off the street thinks ur hot then yes they will also call you that..

Answer 6

Some boars think that cute pet names are what female wait staff enjoy hearing.  I try to be more respectful unless the gal calls me some name first.  Then I go along with it.  A little bit of humor or flirting is sometimes nice.

Answer 7

yeah i hate that.  i got on my bf for that.  people he doesnt know he calls that sweetie or hon.  I told listen dontyou do thast s h i t again,  

Answer 8

It all depends on the situation, most people I think wouldn't call their boss darling or honey or sweetie unless they were having a relationship with them.  I certainly wouldn't call someone I didn't know any of those names, they'd think you were a weirdo and call the police.

Answer 9
