Where I come from up North we might show affection by calling women and kids "Luv" or "Pet". But some Southern women might take offence at this
And I might kiss or hug a female friend but I'd never, ever, kiss a "mate" | |

My heart starts beating every time I get someone calling me "Luv" over the phone

I just can't get used to it but I do kinda like it
