Ladies...gimme the the current scoop on "terms of endearment"?
Alrightee then...I'm one of those people who use terms of endearment. Especially on people I appreciate. Ever since I heard Nancy Gribble say "Sug", I made it my own and I know I'm guilty of using Sug, Sugar and Doll on some of y'all too.
Is that part of being toxic and politically incorrect now? And do you find it offensive when I or anyone else does it to you?
Gentlemen, feel free to chime in too.

I'm not a fan. I like it when someone I know says it to me with affection but, more often than not, it's done by people who either are using it in a condescending way (ex: men and women here when you disagree with someone) or use it as part of their every day speech with everyone they interact with. I had a doctor call me "dear" a few years ago. My gut reaction was an intense desire to kick the guy in his balls.
@SW-User Totally get what you mean. I have family members that only use terms of endearment then they're insulting you. I'm not a warm/loving person by nature but when I actually find something to like in someone (and that's rare), I tend to shower them in love 😅 Lemme know if I ever slip with you LOL
