anything said to be condescending will annoy people but when its said respectfully its guite nice.
my boyfriend has recently started calling me his "little lady" in private cos i was complaing about him being taller than me. i get suitably indignant and argue the point when he does, (i have my pride after all, and IM NOT THAT SMALL!!, at least not compared to normal people...) but secretly i really like it, its cute and just another thing we have together. im his little lady, and he is my tall thing

the one word i really cant stand even, or especially when its said in an affectionate way to me is "baby" its horrible. i get an urge to wailing like a baby and see how sexy they think it is then. i find it soo anoying, one of my pet hates. babies are NOT sexy! and was potty trained a long time ago so i think ive earned the right to a different title. grrr..
I call mine honeybunch and my cute little... and he's 2 years older than me, taller than me, and 60 lbs. more than me. He thinks it's sweet when I call him those names.
