“Sweetheart” Whats the Problem?
Just recently I have started using the word sweetheart when speaking to girls I work with but when I do use the word it is meant in the most relaxed and form.It is almost meant jokingly just to support the Statement.
But Ive just discovered that some girls dont like the word sweetheart or being called sweetheart!
I dont use the word in the romantic sense.
for Eg : some one says something and my reply might be
“you must be joking sweetheart there is no way in hell that is going to happen today”.
Some people think it is condescending to girls to say that word!
Im Curios!
Im confused , what does everyone think about that in yahoo answer land??
thanks all

The example you gave, “you must be joking sweetheart ……” makes you sound condescending and sarcastic.
If you gave me that answer you’d get more than a “sweetheart” in reply.
No matter how you mean it, the statement makes you sound like a pompous, ignorant and overbearing so and so, who’s on a power trip.
Just for my information, how do you word an answer to a male colleague?
