Came here to say the same thing. I loved being a transplant living in Nola. All the old ladies were so nice to my friends and I.

Like we've got sweet grandmas up in New England, but I haven't been called "sugar" by anyone since I moved home.

At least in the south shore area I often have older women say things like ‘hun/hon’, no ‘sugar’ though.

All older ladies in my family use ‘sugar’ as a name or ‘gimme some sugar’ meaning come give me a kiss lol

“I’d give you more sugar, grandma, if you didn’t have adult onset diabetes.”
