Re: "Sweetie" and other nicknames like that

Dumb question, but isn't this normal for the Southern US?
I'm from Germany. Never ever has an official called me "Missy" or "sweetie", but when I was down in Oklahoma it happened all the fucking time.

I was relieved when I got back home, tbh. I was too afraid at that time to speak up against American cops or airport staff. We wree all about 18 or 19. The guys in our group were referred to as "Sir" or "Mr." and us girls were "honey" and "sweetie", even "darling". We felt like little kids dressed in pink princess tutus. It was really annoying.

In certain parts of the South, yeah. Though, I'm from Texas and you don't hear people using "sweetie" or "honey" as much as other places. You'd probably be more likely to hear Spanish nicknames. I swear everyone used to call everyone else "mami," "mamacita, "nina," "papi" and "nino" in this one place I lived.

In my part of Texas "lil' mama" is common. It's a little weird and off putting when it comes from someone I don't know and they're just assuming I have kids or kind of relegating me to FEMALES HAVE BABIES or something but supposedly it's also supposed to be a sign of respect or deference in the workplace?

I dunno I'm from new england and I get it all the fucking time but it's probably worse in the south

I don't mind it from my friends (usually come up with pet names for them too) but I always cringe when it's from a random stranger
