Don't you just cringe when some people call you things like Buddy and Matey? I know they're terms of endearment and there are plenty of worse things to be called, but oooooooooooooooohhhhhhhhh nooooooo!

I've always hated "mate" - I find it vaguely intimidating.

I don't mind being called mate so long as the person doing the calling is actually my mate! I can tolerate buddy so long as the person doing the calling is American but from a Brit buddy sounds pathetic.

I hate being called Madam or Doll. I like it in the States when people call me Miss - it makes me feel young.

Bruv is fine so long as the person is actually my biological brother or fellow union member :-)

I hate them all.......darlin', sweetheart, love, m'duck, mate, honey, hen, sweetie.....

There are some situations where I will ignore it, when it happens in my professional life then I do say something.

My husband hated being called mate. I hate being called lover (Bristol word) and petal, which I think is from the North.
