This is mostly in reference to the latest virus, I suppose, but it's also something I've noticed a lot on the community in general. Isn't there anyone here who doesn't refer to their significant other as "my love", or some variation of the phrase? Doesn't that seem to be... oh, I don't know, overkill? Not to mention overly flowery and sickeningly sweet.

I know at least some of you must agree with me.

Pathetic? Just because you don't like it?

Not necessarily. While some things can be put down to differences in taste, this really can't. I've yet to meet anyone who used such "pet names" and was still an acceptable human being.

That's...a strong way to put it?

But it doesn't make them any less of a person if they want to call their loved one something different.

It might make them less respectable, depending on the terms they use.

Some of the more ridiculous ones. I'm not going to give examples.

I guess...some can be a little weird. But that doesn't mean they're a bad person.

Not bad, just inferior.

Do you know the meaning of the word?

[identity profile] lolcrayons.livejournal.com 2009-02-16 09:09 pm (UTC)(link)
Of course I do! I just didn't think that someone would think so low of people.

I know, I look pretty young...

I'm not as naive as you think.
