Baby

Depending on the person, this little name can be either a massive insult or a loving pet name. For the most part, I dislike being called 'baby' and/or any form of that word. It makes me feel like just another tally to put down on the person's chart. I just don't like it, you know? It's perfectly understandable. It can be shallow. But moving on!!

How can this pet name be an insult? Easy. Imagine this: you're at a club or a bar or walking down the street or just about ANYWHERE, and you hear this weird heavy voice say "Hey baby.." So you turn around because when a voice says something like that and you're reasonably close to the source, you're bound to be a little interested in who it's directed at. Well, the monster behind the voice is some over weight slob. Greasy clothes, slimy hair, unattractive crooked smile. The source is a pigmonster! You don't want to be called baby by a pigmonster, right?! I didn't think so. Especially when you know the foul beast just wants in your cute little panties!! It's just not ok! But for some reason, many of these said beasts think that by calling attractive women baby before making a big move will increase their chance/is perfectly acceptable. Well it's not! It's offensive and nobody likes it so stop!

It's obvious how it can express the love that someone has for another though. I mean, couples call each other baby/babe all the time and they have for years! It's nothing new, and it's often portrayed in the media and what not as a form of admiration.

Anyways.. Just had to get that out there.
