I was called "flower" by a bus driver in Sheffield. It was sort of charming, if odd.

Spike: You pissed in the Big Man's Chair? That's fantastic! Gunn: Spike, can you please turn off that warm fuzzy? Spike: What, the Lorne thing? Worn off. I just think that's bloody fabulous.

Trust my rage
I used to wear perfume but now most smells bother me. They sort of tickle my nose in a way that doesn't go away.

I hate being called dear, sweetie or hun by anyone who doesn't know me.
I don't wear scented anything because I work in a scent-free workplace. (As are most places in Halifax.)

It's a little old fashioned, not too sweet, when its wearing off it reminds me of baby powder.
I honestly think I first liked it at 14 or so because the name sounded so glamorous.

Beautiful Bouncing
Billy and Ali are delighted to announce the birth of their son, Jack William Boyd. Jack was born on the 26th April and weighed in at very healthy 6lbs 10oz. Both mother and child are doing very, very well and Billy is exceptionally proud of them both. Great happiness!

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."
I call children "bunny" sometimes.
OMG I knew we were related! I call my cat "bunny" all the time and Flatmate thinks it is thoroughly weird.
I do not wear scent, although I have at times in the past. I was always a Lancome person, but more of a "what free samples did I get" rather than a loyalist.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
I think there's a difference between calling people "honey" or "sweetie" as a term of endearment versus using it as a marker of status, if that makes any sense. "Honey, get me a cup of coffee" just smacks of male entitlement to me, but in the south, people use endearments. It happens.
There is still no excuse for "the little gal."

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Wow, really?
I don't wear any scent because I'm lazy and don't care that much.

oh absolutely. There's definitely a difference.

Oh, and What Dana Said about the "endearments" thing. Calling a stranger something stupid is entirely different from referring to a co-worker as "the little gal." I have heard people in the 21st century refer to their assistant as "my girl" or whatever, and it's appalling.
