Sorry about deleting, pressed wrong button !!
What i said was, that a while ago when we were arranging a meet, the Lady insisted on calling Pork "Love" and it annoyed me, but i spoke to a friend in the "Wirral" (sorry if spelled wrong) and he said that everyone calls him "Duc" and it was an Accent thing !!  (Perky) |

Queen is used as a term of endearment by scouse guys to their lady as opposed to down south where it is the woman who lives in Buck House or a drag artiste throwin a hissy fit.
Hinny is a north east term same as marra
Me duck is an east mids/black country phrase
"Love" is widespread all over the north |

"I'd never heard of "bab" till I met Zac....must be a midland thing !!!
 "
My ex is from Shropshire and called me that. Hate being called it now because it reminds me of him, which is a shame coz I quite liked it.
Best thing about being Northern is being able to call everyone pet when you can't remember names! |

It is an odd thing the north. Being 40 miles from home, and how different words are here.
Never heard of a 'ginnel' I always referred to it as an alley, but others back home referred to it as a 'jigger'
Its might confusing up north. |

Another thing that I've noticed is how midlanders often say island instead of roundabout........Zac and I often playfully argue about that one !!!
Sorry, not a term of endearment, but still a divide in terms !!!!!

In Sheffield you can put "oreyt" together with any of the following, charge, judd, cock, cocka, me old, and shag.
And Mardy means someone who's being moody  |

Since I moved back to Yorkshire I've noticed that at least 90% of the people I talk to call everybody 'love'. After six months I still find it a bit weird to hear a big manly Yorkshireman call another equally macho man 'love', after spending the last 25 years in the north-east where any guy calling a Geordie or mackem guy they didn't know 'love' would get a smack in the face. |

One of my favorite days was.showing a 6ft7 biker friend of mine round Sheffield before I drove. We caught the bus everywhere and watching his face as every single bus driver called him petal was a joy! |
