Sounds demeaning in many social contexts in America today. Like calling them honey, or cupcake, or missy.

Depends, maybe, on the language used. I like the name Sari, which is Princes in Hebrew.

One of my Cavalier King Charles Spaniel's name is Princess, so I wouldn't be able to call anyone or any other dog Princess, there is only one Princess in our household!

I agree.

Personally I don't like being called a princess.

It's tacky.

Normally I would be barf about it, but I used to be called it by someone I cared for deeply, so I have warm fuzzy feelings about it instead.

Any word can have good or bad connotations or memories, depending on the usage.bouquet

Yeah. It would depend on the person delivering it, but in general....don't like it.

I'm not a fan of many endearments at all really, especially when you don't know someone well.

What about you?

Glamorous, attractive, well-bred?

On this side of the pond it's associated with working class, or nouveau riche culture trying to project glamour, style and good-breeding and failing miserably. It's often used as a theatrical stereotype.

And as Berrie mentioned, it's associated with poor behaviour, particularly someone who believes themselves to deserve more than they do and who tantrums when they don't get what they want.

These days it tends to be revving the engine as you're crossing the road at the lights to make you start and look round. That pisses me off.

Although I do find it funny when youngsters beep, or shout at me from behind, but realise when I turn round I'm old enough to be their mother. It's the expression on their faces. rolling on the floor laughing

StandardsFirst: Question as is.


There's a kernel of mockery to that term of affection. It's like calling her kitten. Am I being cutesy and nice or am I teasing her fragility and sense of entitlement? It's usually somewhere in the middle. And it's something I say only to girls who know me well - seldomly friends, occasionally my Sisters, most often to my girlfriend.

Also, it's something I don't really say to women older than me and my term of affection for them is "wench".
