I think a lot of it depends on tone of voice. I'm offended by it when it's clear that the person (no offense intended but it's usually men) are talking down to you. Other than that, I never thought about it one way or another. And since I've moved to the south, it's much more prevalent and I hardly notice it anymore. And, I find myself doing it much more than I used to.

And I did live in Charleston SC for a few years. Can't really get much more southern than that

sometimes i think that people in this day and age or too quick to annoyance tho... in an era of getting things exactly how u want, exactly when u want and in some cases in the comfort of your own home where you dont have to interact with people as much during the course of the day, society's collective tolerance level for minor things and quirks people have, that really are harmless, go down. Society becomes either people who are perpetually anal and people who are constantly trying to check what they say or do so as not to offend. Too many bills passed as law, too many groups protesting on behalf of some banal topic/cause! It's getting to the point of treading on egg shells some days. |

So now, it's rich snobby people in northern VA? Alrighty. Anyway, I consider Northern VA completely different than the rest of VA. I've never considered myself as living in the south. |

it's still words. There will always be people who will take offense, even if offense is not meant. I can take the words "how nice" and make them rather offensive if I so choose! It's all with the intent and the perspective!

I've never considered myself as living in the south. if you really wanna find out,, go to mass,, then you will find out just how southern you are,, whether you want to admit it or not lady. i have been all over the country,, and have lost a great deal of my accent,, half my family you wouldnt be able to understand, but we all act alike for the most part. but up there,, no matter if you have a slight southern or a true drawl,, your a redneck. |

I'm about as far north as you can go, without entering Canada,and in my employment when I assist customers of the fairer sex, I have a tendency to use "hon" often (just me, I guess)...never gave it much thought....but I do get a lot of smiles...must be my overwhelming personality..  You can call me "Hon" anytime!!! Hi hon!!
