When someone calls me ma'am I tell them not to call me that, I WORK for a living. If you're military, you know what that means
I can handle most of the names from others if they aren't repeated more than once... However, the word LIKE, ya know, if ya think like it's like this man, and like I went to her house and we like went here and then like............ ARGH!!!

Walk into any resturant, in the South, as a man, and you'll walk out, thinking that the waitress is in love with you...In a half an hour, you've been called Sweety, Darling, Honey, Baby, Love, all with that sweet Southern drawl...You'll also walk out a poorer man, because you can't help but leave a huge tip.

Funny story... when we first moved to SW VA from NY, my 5 yr old was engaged in conversation by an older gentleman in a grocery store. When we got out in the car, she wanted to know why he would call her a sweet little onion. Hubby and I couldnt figure it out and just let it go.
A few weeks later I had started my new job and one of my co-workers was talking about her young'uns. That gave me an AHA! moment...
Young-un=Little onion when spoken with a thick southern drawl.
Personally, I dont mind being called 'sugah', darlin', dear or sweetheart when the person is older than I am.
I think its kind of sweet.

Well would you like to be called upon "HEY YOU!"
We use "Ma'am" when we call to attention to another lady who might have not known she dropped something in the parking lot or tracked toliet paper from her bottom of her shoe or heaven forbid, in her pants trailing out like a paper tail.
And we sure use "Sir" when us ladies need to bring the attention to a gentleman as if he absentmindly left his wallet on the cashout stand when he bagged up his groceries. Happened more often than not.
Oh yes, kids nowadays say like....like....like....like.........yeah what IS to like about! Wished Judge Judy would have a comment about that! "Um is NOT a word!" "Um is not an answer, speak up!" she would say!
I would call my husband, "Hon" in an affectionate way. Does he call me any affectionate names? No except for "EweSheep" as a pet name.
In the South, at a Civil War reenactment for Chickamunga, GA, I never saw so many really nice Southern gentlemen with proper manners while the odd ragmuffins hardcore reenactors use "not so friendly language" of that time to the ladies who walked in camp. I had a few that catcalled or "whore" but you have to get a thick skin when you cross that line. If only I can yank those hardcores out of their uniforms and the enivornments they were in, they ought to be ashamed of themselves calling the ladies (reenactors and public) sadistic names. Stay away from drunks, they can get too "hey Sweetie", "Hooker Hooters" (not the dining establisment but Gen. Hooker's Hooters (whore women), Babes would come out of their mouths. My hubby would not allow me to go in these camps but that it would be avoidable when you have to cross some campgrounds to get to the sultery, modern day eateries, or to the period ball. So that was one eye opening event that all kinds of people in a giving area would be there. What a memory!

wow....guess I have put a lot of people's knickers and boxers in a knot over the years with the sirs, ma'ams and hons that have come out of my mouth....
Somehow, I feel some of the more obnoxious of them would have been much more offended if I had called them what I really wanted to but deigned to say due to the southern way that I was brought up. Which is to show respect and courtesy, especially to strangers who's name I did not know...
