I'm here, eating my breakfast in the US, reading about how people in the middle of england call each other duck

And you're like "yeah,I just call everybody duck"

I don't know, I just find it hilarious and cute

We should call everyone "duck", but lets also randomly call people "goose" and then run away from them.

Adorable (TIL) but alas, someone here in the US will mis-hear it as being called a fuck, and fly into a murderous rage because of the DiSrEsPeCt.

“Ey up, duck” is one I’ve heard from Yorkshire friends.

I’ve also heard “How are you doing, my love/lovely” - mostly from other women.

In East London I’ve heard “hello gorgeous” even between two men addressing each other.

Regional variations and nuances are fascinating.
