Today, as a heavily tattooed and bearded man, I’ve been called love, sausage, buttons, sweetheart, horse, wee-man, and big-man. I do love the UK sometimes.

'Buttons' 😭 That is so cute. I want to start using that

My favourite is ‘sausage’. It’s not gendered (if you don’t think too much about it), it makes me feel silly. 10/10.

Also I’ve just been called ‘lover’.

I'm a big tattooed man and have gotten "biscuit" before when I was visiting Texas.

Oh that’s a good one. Why has no one started a colloquial affirmation bingo?!

horse

In the US we typically go with "hoss" but whatever works.
