Verbal displays of affection.

I hate it when they use honey, sweetie, lover, darling, and some other vomit-inducing ones.

Not too much. I mean, if it's sweetie or honey it's kinda cute but if it's like a personal pet name it's a bit annoying.

Most sound superficial. I never use them.
Hello Pika Art by Dr Unne ~~~ godhatesfraggles
Only in private. Never in public.
Doesn't bother me. :mog:
I like darling, it's sweet and old fashioned, me and Lindsey generally call each other that =]
And affection publicly is sweet, like holding hands and the odd hug, but I don't think there's any need to go over the top in public, plenty of time for that when you're alone.
When me and my friend were at the shopping centre he was pushing around a pram and using it as a shopping trolley and when I walked out of the store I said "Come on sweetness", like you would to your wife so everyone thought we were a gay couple which we aren't that's why it was funny.
But I don't actually mind other peoples business .
I'll call you whatever you want, Hootbaby.
And I don't really care about the second question.
Hey you.
I like to call BJ sweety honey poopy butt but he doesn't like it very much.
In private more than anything: Yes. In private, it's okay, but you still shouldn't really overdo it. There are some words that I hate being called no matter what, such as sweety and darling and uh... yeah, sweety and darling. You know how they say it all stereotypically-homosexual-like? Yeah, that's what I hate. When they say it to you and you're not even their partner, you're just a friend or something. Affectionate words like that are yucky when used between friends.
I use honey a lot when talking to girlfriends and even some very close friends, but more often than not it's in private. It's always better in the long run to just have a personal nickname for them. It's just plain better.
Bow before the mighty Javoo!
People that do it in public are generally just showing off, rather than doing it for affection. Makes me want to hurl. Broken bottles, that is.
I use the term sweetheart, babe, honey, and darlin' constantly, but I use them on everybody. Just what I was raised around.
