That's why I like the term of endearment used in the midlands of England: duck

Works for everyone.

Australian version of this (mostly around Queensland) is chook. Anyone can be a chook.

Isn't chook also used to refer to chickens?

Yea chook is chicken in Australian / New Zealand English. But in the context of calling a person that, it isn't calling them a 'chicken' for some reason. For that we just still say chicken. 

Eg. Roast chook.
