I never say babe either.
It may come up when I'm talking about dionysian baseball players, righteous pigs or goofing on a hollywood agent.
When you look back at this, in the three seconds it'll take you to turn to dust, I think you'll find the mistake was touching my stuff.

Boxed Set, Vol. II: "It's a Cookbook...A Cookbook!!"
A topic for the discussion of Farscape, Smallville, and Due South. Beware possible invasions of Stargate, Highlander, or pretty much any other "genre" show that captures our fancy. Expect Adult Content and discussion of the Big Gay Sex.
Whitefont all unaired in the U.S. ep discussion, identifying it as such, and including the show and ep title in blackfont.
Blackfont is allowed after the show has aired on the east coast.
This is NOT a general TV discussion thread.

Oh, yes. The pig. I forgot about the pig. But that'd be capitalized.
I must have been channeling someone or something. Maybe one of those hollywood agents.

"Fuck Western ideologically-motivated gender identification!" Sulu gasped, and came.
I say 'babe'. It is every bit as odd and risible as the word 'dude', coming from me, given that in my local argot the more appropriate terminology would be 'mate' or even, believe it or not, 'cock'.
I blame the cheap imported shiny US television shows.

...or porn, possibly.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
or even, believe it or not, 'cock'.
I knew of this. Ray Davies of the Kinks mentions the usage in his book.
I totally should've had you say "Dude" on the F2F videotape.

Much better - I was channeling Fay. We'll go with that.

Of course, I've never seen a single ep of either Stargate. Or Farscape.
Nor have I.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
