While this singer is referring to men using pick up lines the tense is still diminutive. I don' t like it. I have a name . I do not like being called Sir either. Honey, Sugar, Sweetie. It is best reserved for very small children.
I'll try to remember that, sug. j/k of course but it just goes to show how little one can take for granted. So long as you can let it roll off your back if you unintentionally overstep, you'll survive.
I don't tend to be very adventurous in this way myself. But I've never felt anything but pleased when women address me that way. Not sure whether I'm basking in the warm glow of their maternal concern or imagining I was their main squeeze. Either way, I like it.
