Sir Ian McKellen on calling everyone "love"
@madcollector Perhaps no surprise, I can't think of anything comparable in Germany.

@MBrandtner I was adressed with "liebchen" by a cashier at DM once. My first unspoken reaction was "I am NOT a feeble old woman!" 🤣
Only "love" is somehow acceptable. 🤭

Oh! I love it, it is so heartwarming.

Maybe "Liebes" or "mein Herz" - but these are very personal and intimate cosenames.
Maybe we should transfer "luv" to germany. Why not? There are a lot of loanwords (like f-word) - using a nice one is something new.

My pupils use "Bro" - dosen't matter if it is a girl or boy to them.

@EvaLie
I've just been called "Schätzchen" by a woman at a bakery.
That was nice.
