In Staffordshire and the West Midlands both men and women use the term 'duck' when speaking to another person irrespective of their sex".

Shocking at first but it's now becoming endearing to me compared to the term "mate". So I will call my Filipino family & friends "hellow duck" lols! I bet I will have a lot of backslapping if they are here.

How about in your area. Do you have any funny/ peculiar/ unique terms of endearment aside from flower, honey, love...?"

C'mon duckies, spit it out!
