No, but a little boy (or girl) will use any word he/she can think of to describe someone or something, and not think about the feelings of others when they say it. How many times have you been in a store or a restaurant of any kind and a child will say "Mommy, look over there at that fat man!!"

So when I say "little boy" I mean think about what you are saying before you say it.....don't say it first before you know more about the lady in question.

I never would do such a thing. I do it with loved ones who know how to take it. I'm being super-old-timey in an antique satirecal manner. It's funny because Thw women I say it to know I'm the complete opposite and I'm just being playful. I wouldn't say it to a stranger.

Then why ask a bunch of strangers if we think it is insulting if you call loved ones by that word (or any other)? That would be like me asking if it matters to you what I call TheCaptain and if I should do it or not.....what <<--confused..huh

I simply was wondering if it may be a thing that she laughed at or smiled, but secretly harbor it against me.

One way to find out:


ask her

I think that by asking a group of random strangers I've realized that most women wouldn't appreciate my humor in this example, and I would be wise to avoid it when I do find a her. I guess I'll have to fall back on sucka as the general playful pet name. I need a pet name to start playeful arguments were both people laugh the whole time. I have a affectionate name for every woman I've been with as well, but I never recycle those.
