Baby and Jani... nooo... who says that???!!! PUKE!!
Hunny, babe etc etc yes, do get called these....no probs with it BUT only if it's a very good friend... don't like colleagues / friends of friends using these terms

Re: would u mind if..

I'll totally mind it.

This reminds me of our last visit to Pakistan. you know how everyone copies cheap Indian dramas there. So shopkeepes starter calling their female customers "janoo" (I am talking 2006ish). So my wife was at this Tariq Road shoe shop and salesman goes "janoo baithoo tu sahi, koi jota pasand nahi aaaya", my wife was unaware of the sales tactic goes "excuse me?". Later on when she went to other shops she realized that every salesman was like that. disgusted with that, she almost lost the appetite for shopping on that trip...

awkward.

Re: would u mind if..

being a guy it's lame pathetic, some friend calling my wife jani/darling .. even he is her best friend ever.

that's like crossing the line, you can't justify it. until you are way too modern and forget about the basic principals of morality, then that's another story.

Yes I would :snooty:

i said SINGLE woman..SINGLE!!

i dont understand y u ppl keep tlaking about your wifes..im tlaking about UNMARRIED WOMAN!

Re: would u mind if..

Ok, even if the girl is single....and the guy is single as well....."jani" still sounds blech! Think long fingernails running down a blackboard.

One of my guy friend's (he's white) refers to me as "darling" all the time. He uses "darling" to talk to or refer to almost all girls who're friends with him. It doesn't bother me.

I have another male friend (he's desi)....at times he calls me "sweety" during our conversations. And no, it doesn't bother me.

On a few occassions, I have overheard my BF talk to his female friends and he'll call them "babe".....it's rare but it has happened a few times. And no, it doesn't bother me.
