Still Waters Posted August 31, 2012 #1 Share Posted August 31, 2012 It has become one of the most common terms of endearment used by couples, but 'babe' has been voted the most hated pet name for women. The term, made popular by Sonny and Cher's Sixties hit I Got You Babe, come out on top in a new study. ‘Sweetcheeks’, ‘snookums’ and ‘muffin’ were also a definite no no, but terms such as ‘gorgeous’, ‘beautiful’ and ‘lovely’ were considered acceptable. http://www.dailymail...weetcheeks.html 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hasina Posted August 31, 2012 #3 Share Posted August 31, 2012 I highly dislike 'babe', 'baby', 'hunny', 'sexy', the list goes on and on. I prefer my name or nickname thank you very much. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

meryt-tetisheri Posted August 31, 2012 #5 Share Posted August 31, 2012 (edited) It's not only English, French has some weird pet names too. Can there ever be anything worse than calling one "mon chou", literally my cabbage! Edited August 31, 2012 by meryt-tetisheri 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can there ever be anything worse than calling one "mon chou", literally my cabbage! Having been to France on many an occasion, "cabbage" is rather apt for the ladies, in my opinion.

Ashotep Posted August 31, 2012 #9 Share Posted August 31, 2012 Gorgeous, beautiful and lovely is a compliment that's why the ladied like that. Babe, hunny is more of a habit. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Man Waffles Posted August 31, 2012 #10 Share Posted August 31, 2012 Baby, sweetcheeks, poppet, sweetheart, dear. All of them are sleazy and patronising IMO 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eldorado Posted August 31, 2012 #11 Share Posted August 31, 2012 Baby, sweetcheeks, poppet, sweetheart, dear. All of them are sleazy and patronising IMO It all depends on who's whispering the name. Would you complain if your Tom Daley called you "My baby"? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheBanana Posted September 1, 2012 #14 Share Posted September 1, 2012 i dont really like being given pet names like that, by men anyway. for some reason it seems kinda weird, but my friend calls me most of those on the list, and i love it. there was a woman i knew once who called everyone baby girl/boy, and that sort of annoyed me though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hasina Posted September 1, 2012 #15 Share Posted September 1, 2012 Oh! 'Girl'! That's one I despise! I am a woman, I can buy cigarettes and booze, I no longer wear pigtails, why do you want a girl? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hasina Posted September 2, 2012 #18 Share Posted September 2, 2012 Heck, if I got called 'pimp' I'd go into a 'where's my money' rage, cause only my workers get to call me that. ;D 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
