What folksy thing do you wish someone would call you?

Asked by irondavy (727points) October 21st, 2008

I really like when someone calls me and my associates “yous guys” and I’d also like to some day be described as a “cool customer.” What about you?

I’m gonna marry the first ginger boy who calls me darling or poppet.
You know, he might not even need to be a redhead.

I was once called “Goofy as a poodle and silly as string.” Does that count?

Best thing anyone’s ever called me is ‘Mummy’.

This is such a fun question! @Irondavy, your answers are the best!

I’d like to be called Suzy Creamcheese.

I know it’s not a good thing, but I like the way it sounds.

When I am in my 80’s I want to be referred to as A Tough Old Broad.

I’ll never again will be able to be called a Young Whippersnapper although it would be nice.

I was called a whippersnapper once! It was the most glorious moment of my life.

Whippersnapper! Awesome. I was called a “gal” today, which isn’t too folksy, but isn’t in popular use anymore. It made me grin.

My friends call each other “my dear”. I love it. Again, something that’s largely fallen out of use.

Since I’m a redhead I always get random people calling me “red” which I find totally annoying. When I lived in Italy, there was an old man that used to call me “little carrot”
I thought that was hilarious. But I have to say that I’m a sucker for “doll” and “sweet pea”.

asmonet's avatar

@sfortunate: I get “Red” a lot too. I’m a redhead by choice however so, I don’t think I’ve heard it quite as often as you.

Little Carrot is absolutely precious.
