I sort of like terms like this. The ladies at work call me things like hon and dear and love. A good friend of mine (who is the queerest straight man ever
) calls me hon more than he does my name.
I don't usually get weirded out by names. I figure that people don't usually mean much by them, and most often don't even realize what they're calling me.
And to be honest, I tend to use them too... :blush:
