Did you ever play that game as a teenager? While other teenagers were playing spin the bottle I was playing games at church. I was the type of teen that would go to church every day of the week they had an event open. This game came into my mind today. One player would sit in the person’s lap or kneel before them and say those words and they have not laugh. You all must be doing this to me.
Here is the deal, my lovely readers, when I call someone darlin’ or love…well it is a word of affection. I am a southerner. That is what we do. Bless your heart can mean f-you or it can mean I am sorry to hear that. Love, darlin’, sweetie, and so on are just part of our daily vocabulary.
I tell you this so that you will quit throwing yourself at me. I don’t want your smelly stinky stained underpants because I called you love. I also don’t need marriage proposals, sonnets, or taxidermied animals. If you want to give me something, cash is good though the purchase of said items listed in previous posts.
I might say things like, “Love, your muffin top has turned into a can of biscuits.” This isn’t a declaration of my undying love for you. I might say, “Darlin’ those pants make your butt look like two pigs fighting when you walk.” Again, not a proposal for friends with benefits.
In conclusion, you will never get to hit this but I love you.

Lady or Not…Here I Come!


OMG!! If I could get off the F****ng floor and get a grip!! Love is a wonderful thing aint it? Okie dokie its a one nighter? Ahhh I think were on the same page live the way you gonna live and if the moments right………..? Oh, and bless ur little pea picken heart!
LOL see you get me.
Hah! LOVE this! Some of my “youthful” female staff members (ya know, when I’m working and not writing) call me “hun”. I don’t know whether to smile or to stuff dollar bills down their shorts.
But hey, your Southern vocab is a great way to weed out the creeps! Everybody wins…
It does indeed. It can be so much fun. I dare you to start stuffing dollars.

LOL
Too funny
Thanks love.
It’s an English thing as well.. and to think I was loved just this once when i was in London…
Richie…did you think I loved you
That’s priceless!
It never ceases to amaze me how people to this day can still read into something as trivial as a word. I’ve had issues with this in the past too being Scottish, but never with people from home soil.
I can kind of understand though when people get offended with our occasional habits of using insults as a term of endearment.
LOL yes but it is a term of endearment here. I am glad I am not the only one that has gone through this. Thanks for stopping by, Love.

Oh, I get it. You are playing hard to get. Game on!
Always hard to get.
you must be catholic
Nope.
I was so good at that game at church. Somewhat seems odd it was a church game. Never knew anyone else who ever played. I was Ice Baby. Now if I could just be that way with all the douchbags I date…..
LOL Ever read my dear ladies that date douchebags post?
Haha, you tell ‘em.
Thanks dear.
We gals have to stick together.
i’d say it only if i mean it.
I understand that. It is a tradition thing here. I don’t say I am in love with you. I just call people love.

Southern gals are the bestest darlin’ 8P
Indeed
American by birth and Southern by the grace of God, honeybunches
you’re very welcome dear.
Glad you’ve cleared this up for everyone else so they’ll stop competing with me.
I knew I was in the first time you told “Bless your heart, I can barely see the scars from where you dropped as a child”.
That was when I knew it was love…
Shhh it is a secret.
So . . . it’s over?
Sorry baby.
Oops! One has to be very careful in NYC! k.
LOL I will do my best.

Would you mind making the comments section a color I can see…:)
I am going to try. I can’t figure out what you all see. In my screen it is very visable. I will work on it.

You just ruined my day. Now I have to go reread everything you’ve written to me to find out what you really meant.
I am so sorry to burst your bubble. See…you were the one I meant…never mind
Becca, being from the south myself, God Bless You, and have a great day. — Bill
LOL Thanks Bill
My dreams have been dashed again. Well at least I have seen that you break all the guys hearts. Thanks for letting me down easy. But so public!
Oh see I thought it was letting you down romantically, like when someone asks someone to marry in a baseball statum.
I love this post! And thanks for being such a Dear and stopping by my blog!
Thanks so much for stopping by here. I hope you continue to do so!
