@madcollector@retro.pizza J'avais un collègue brancardier qui appelait tout le monde dans les services "mignon" ou "mignonne" parcequ'il se rappelait jamais les noms des gens, et ça passait crème ! 😄

@RainbowFrog@mastodon.top @R1Rail@pouet.chapril.org @madcollector@retro.pizza @jmessager@framapiaf.org C'est pas mal, mais "my love" c'est quand même simple et puissant comme le dit McKellen.

All those alternatives he enumerated in the end are male though, while "love" just applies to everyone. That makes those alternatives really not alternatives at all. @madcollector@retro.pizza

@madcollector@retro.pizza I’ve lived in Manchester and Sheffield and “love” and “duck” are more common east of the pennines. Whereas “pal” and “mate” are more common in the west.

@madcollector@retro.pizza Taxi drivers in London can spew misogynist and racist shit at you while calling you "luv" every few second. Especially if you're a woman. "We don't need anybody, luv" (ref. brexit). "Be careful of those black folk, luv" (ref a fucking jazz club). "Maybe stay home then, luv" (ref. whether a given area is considered safe). Love Ian and I wish what he said were true. Instead it feels like it comes from a place of some privilege. :(

@madcollector@retro.pizza I love this! Does it work elsewhere? As an American man, I would totally use this for everyone with my one reservation being: would it make a woman feel uncomfortable?
-
@noodlemaz@mstdn.games 2026-06-14 21:04
@madcollector@retro.pizza it's a nice way of looking at it for sure. But as a woman, you don't really know if someone is saying it to everyone or not oftentimes And I'm not some creepy guy's 'love' - it can be so patronising. Cheer up, love. Calm down, love. If you've heard it all your life in less endearing terms, it can be much harder to breeze past or indeed enjoy.

@madcollector@retro.pizza of course there are women who rightly object to men calling them 'love'. yes, it's a term of endearment, but it's also a way for a man to patronise a woman. this is, as they say, why we can't have nice things…

@madcollector@retro.pizza Something similar happened to me at a hotel counter in Newfoundland, when we checked in. I was a bit startled to be welcomed with „ Hello, lover“. It underlines the enormous kindness of the Newfoundlanders.

@madcollector@retro.pizza I seem to be in the minority in this thread, but it shits me right off when randos call me "love". Or "darl", "darling", "dear", "sweetheart" or whatever other ridiculous infantilising word springs into their tiny minds. And then they have the fucking gall to get offended when I say very politely that I dislike being called that, so please don't. It seems to be much more women than men that do it here in Oz, and I just know that if I called *them* those things they would perceive it as sexist bullshit.

@madcollector@retro.pizza Didn't he call everybody "luv"? And isn't that a different thing than "love"?
