they're supposed to be terms of affection, not sound affected!

so i was talking to a really good friend of mine last night and we go wayyy back and i say something and he goes "its fine,hon". it's not the first time he's said it or anything but last night it triggered this thought, different people sound cool saying certain terms of affection...some people are just really really bad when they say terms of afffection..i say, work on it..let me elaborate..

DARLING - very popular. can be cut short to darl, there are other variations like dahlink (with pretend russian accent) but i've also heard variations like dahleeeng oiiii (in a sing-song voice..*cringe*) or the ever-popular LAH-ling...

Baby - ok, this one is a total favourite of mine cos when it's said right....mannnnnnn..but of course there are the alternate variations which, well..WILL NOT MAKE YOU SUCCESSFUL IN BRINGING A WOMAN/MAN BACK TO YOUR PLACE FOR COFFEE...i.e. baybay (said with put on accent) or baybeh (said with put on African American accent!)...please, you are not black, you will not be able to fool other people into thinking you're black...(i've referred to a few sources and sadly the majority have come across a person like that at least once in their life..)

Honey - definitely prefer the short form on this one..usually used by gays or flamboyant fabulous older women...but as we've seen in many Cantonese movies (especially from the late 80's..can you remember those?) (with a whiney whingey voice) "Haaaaaaaaaaaaaneeeeeeeeeeeyyyyyy ah...lei tim kai mm pei ngo huey chek?*pout*
[translation - honey, why won't you let me go with you?*pout* (ok, it doesnt do it justice,i apologise, its a cheena thing)]

shit..i just found out opium ripped my sweater..damn dog..

russell peters is one amazing mother!!he's hilarious!if you get a chance to watch him..do..he's funnier than eddie murphy in raw!(yeah, i know..)

a good friend brought back a piece of the berlin wall for me..how amazingly cool is that???definitely one of the best presents i've received this year..he's definitely one of the girls now!!:D..
