I hate it when people call me "buddy", "boss", or "chief" or stuff like that.

Where I am from names like "butch,bubba and redneck whatever" usually means they are kin to you.

[Hoddi]

You're question made me want to think a while before I answered because I certainly have been called hun or honey tons of times. I grew up in the south where this term is used quite often...but once I became an adult...I have to admit...the use of the term bothers me. It implies a certain familiarity that only close friends or family have a right to use IMO.

If you use the term because you can't remember someone's name...that's definitely okay. But if you know someone's name and you choose to replace it with one of your own...that's being disrespectful. Now obviously there are exceptions to this...but in general I'd say you're not winning any lady friends with the term.

To the OP....Dude if you are offended, get upset, mad or whatever you want to call that because someone uses these names.....All I can tell you is that you better never come to the South cause you will stay pissed off... Come down here and tell a waitress not to call you Honey and see what happens. I would not eat what she served.

Seriously you are strung WAY too tight of this bothers you Buddy.
