You and I would clash very badly in person. I call everyone darlin, sweetie, and say 'oh honey' when someone does summin silly.

LOL, so...in every southern "sir" or "ma'am" there's a teensy tiny "fuck you".
Nope, I honestly mean every sir or ma'am I have ever said. If I don't say sir/ma'am to you in person THEN you know I'm being bitchy and don't like you. *whisper* (But no matter if I like you or not I will say Ms/Mr with your last name)
