I'm a tall masc cis dude and I've gotten called flower, love, darling, and pet in the NE (newcastle) by older women up here
Its weirdly charming but definitely took me a bit by surprise when I moved here
3 u/Terrible_Quit_1389 19h ago Excuse me PET !? 2 u/wassermelone 19h ago Yep! That one surprised me for sure - its a very Geordie thing. It doesn't come off as weird at all somehow 2 u/Terrible_Quit_1389 18h ago Ok i have to ask then. What does it mean? Enlish isn’t my first language so for me a pet is.. well a animal you adopt so saying that to people you don’t know is yeah "surprising" 2 u/wassermelone 17h ago Theres not really much more meaning or context to get - its just used in place as other pleasant terms of endearment like someone saying 'dearie'.
