    My mother used to call me "sausage" and don't the French call a woman "Mon petite chou" or My little cabbage.
    I once called a Belgian girl that and she slapped my wrist.

    I usually say girl, like ''hey girl' but in a flirtateous context, only. It gets a positive result.

    Only south of Watford. If you heard 'darlin' in a pub in Manchester it would be immediately followed by the sound of someone being propelled out of a window.

    It's 'love' or 'chuck' round my way, both of which are unisex so none offensive to women

    ok, In the right context and tone I do repond positively to girl. Sme with darlin' but in addition to context and tone it must be said with a southern (US) accent.

    I can see that I'll have to extend my travels to the north of Watford.

    I'm afraid that the southern (UK) accent of those who use darlin' leaves a great deal to be desired.

    I'm very good with tone and can do a southern accent. I can also do a N'awlins accent, having lived there (I also juggle and can do 50 pushups).

    Wow PH - this the first time you've agreed with me!

    You could be pretty creative with food names.
    My little:
    vanilla slice
    scrumptious toastie
    jammy doughnut - (maybe not)
    cheese souffle
    bowl of crudites...

    I hasten to add that I've never referred to women by any food based names. I'm still whole with nothing missing as proof...

    Yeah, but can you name the Mercury 7 without looking it up?

    I can, but growing up on a British island I watched Dr. Who religiously and had delusions and disturbing plans for space (but really time) travel. My Tardis is still around but it needs alot of work.


    Wait a sec- This is the first time we've agreed? I'm crestfallen(tongue out).
