Accidentally calling people i dont know well babe
Ive gotten so used to using babe in a friendly way that I almost keep using it on people I dont know if their comfortable w it.
I cant stop using it bc WHAT ELSE DO I CALL PEOPLE I WANT TO BE NICE TOO?? bro, dude and girlie is too informal (plus im friends w non binary people i dont want them to get the wrong idea that im misgendering them)
Plus i dont want to slip up and give people the impression im flirting with them T~T
Depends tbh - is this online or in person? Online I can see “babe” in an ironic sense working as long as they have the same vibe and humour as u, though lots of ppl do also unironically use this term in a romantic sense and could be weirded out by this. But in person, friends do call eachother babe tho in a genuine sense, so I think it works.
