[quote=Edvin Black] And I'll admit, calling me "honey" like that is going to put my back up in a big way, so that is probably best avoided too .
Because it makes you too happy or too mad ?
Sorry, English is not my native language and in my country it is normal to address some women as "honey". There is nothing sexist about it, I call my mother and aunt that way too. It's a playful and friendly way of addressing woman.
