Oh I understand. I wouldn't want people who see me that way calling me that either, and I don't mean it that way, but if it bugs you I'll refrain, no prob. The guys can tell you that I call everybody "hun", "sweetie", "babe", etc. . . . it's a gay thing and it comes from hanging around with my flamboyant cousin for so many years.

No harm meant.
