My flatmates who are also girlfriend and boyfriend have stopped using their birth names and now only refer to each other as "babe", "babes" or "hun".
Is this ridiculous over-use of terms of affection normal??!
It is annoying the living sh*te out of me.
I suggest you start calling them "babe" and "babes" to annoy them.
-or-
you can be a pussy and continue letting them say that compulsively. Your choice be annoyed or end the nonsense
And, what they call each other is ther business no one elses!
But, I am going to post something...is anyone else annoyed that when they go to a store or gas station the clerk calls them HUN....YUCK!!! Usually some big fat slob!
I have heard my neighbours calling each other this.
then she asks me questions about stuff i would only tell my best friends.
I am unlikely however to ever finger my flatmate as she is ugly as sin.
I finally did I asked her why...she said it's just a greeting. I told her I didn't think it was appropriate and she got defensive..
After to agree that the term hun is a well over used expression!
p.s. I'm not taking the piss I'm generally curious because I've seen others with it.
Are you a Clansman? If so are you the 147th of your clan?
babe..........what?.......next thing you he going to start calling you "baby cakes"
It's so ... awkward
buuuut that is just what couples do. Its cliche. Its overused.
If it helps try to associate these words with something funny, like an inside joke...
I also hate the overly familiar and patronizing "hun" etc from strangers. Who do these people think the are?
But we're not stopping in the bedroom,mmmmk?
It turns me on to be called cuddly wuddly hun in bed. ;)
It may be a local dialect thing .... customers from the Nottingham area I speak to at work call me "duck", in Shetland I get "peerie" meaning little as I'm not very tall. "Hen" is a name some scottish customers address me by ... I just let it wash over, they don't mean to be irritating.
