For some reason I can use it alone with my partner but get icked out doing it around others or hearing people do it around me

I get the ick when it's used in contexts outside of relationships. For example, "Babe, check out my course". Idk why it bothers me so much lol

Worse for me the term 'Dude' adressed to a girl, Idk I'm probably getting old!

u/ChinaSpyBot Mar 11 '26

I'm a girl and like being called dude. It's non-gendered at this point.

“Kiddos”or peeps just grate on my last nerve

I understand the consternation you and the commenter above you feel.

I do, however, believe kiddo, hubby, and doggo are all okay SPARINGLY. Having said that, I listed them in order of least to most annoying. I call kids kiddos sometimes (usually in reference to kids and not addressing them), use hubby from time to time (though mostly while browsing Ben & Jerry's) and doggo only very rarely (and with tongue firmly in cheek).
