I dont like being called chick..but i love it when my baby calls me hun or huni...

I hate saying "chick" ever.

It makes any sentence you use it in sound like you're from the Brady Bunch.

"Hey there groovy chick, you're really happening' in a far out way 😱 "

I call my girlfriend "dude" all the time. Doesn't phase her.

Meh, doesn't bother me most of the time, my girlfriends and I always call each other 'chick' or 'chickie', and refer to other girls as chicks.

When it's not someone I know well though, I don't like it.

I use the term "chick" quite a lot. Along with others such as Doll, Baby face, Hunny, Tuts, Babe!, Mamacita, and of course chica. 😄

I use the term all the time.

See, I don't really care what my mates call me, but I do have a problem with people I don't know usig those terms. especially working in retail, I am constantly having to put up with total strangers calling me 'love' and 'sweeteart' whilst staring at my chest pretending to be looking at my name badge 😒

I understand Phoenix. But you know, beauty comes with the price of attention. 😉

i thought "tuts" was no longer used 😄

hmm...i must live in another part of L.A. then 🤨

I don't mind personally, but you have to be careful about saying it around certain people-- just as it is with many other words commonly used. Pick and choose the best times to use them.

Yeah, that bothers me, when random people I don't know call me 'honey' or 'babe' or whatever. It always seems condescending and patronizing.

And all too well do I know the "I'm pretending to read your nametag but really I'm checking out your chest" thing.....

Actually, that I think about it, I think my friends and I call each other dude more than anything 😂

Be thankful, at least none of your closest friends constantly say things like: "Why are you not aware that you are the most pathetic human being ever? Genuinely." as a form of humour.

I think that's why people are so drastically and easily offended by things I don't say with offence. Because I'm used to conversating with someone who takes it and gives it back tenfold.

i use the terms "chicks" and "guys", and when im in mixed company i just say "dudes. i dont think its offensive at all. especially if you dont mean any offense

I think the term "bi*ch" is more offensive.

Which would you rather be called?
