I am not “with it” in my 30s, but I can get the gist of what a person means by the way they say it. Babe, my love, girl, bestie, hon, sis, dude, bro, dear, miss. It all depends on who says it and how. I don’t always like being called “honey” but one person says it like it’s just part of her kindly daily repertoire and I feel fine. :-)
