“Cain said, ‘Darling, do you mind doctoring my tea for me?’”
Well, I find nothing whatsoever offensive in that.
Nothing offensive about saying darling, you pervert. ROFLOL
Mr Deace.
The words,‘Darling, do you mind doctoring my tea for me?’
cannot be construed as offensive by any reasonable fair minded individual.
Now the words, ‘Mr Deace, why don’t you kiss my Conservative American ass’, THESE are words you can say you find offensive.
Somebody needs to tell this guy that Darlin’ happens to be a term that is widely used in the south. Means absolutely nothing and applies to both male and female. Was collecting checks at a meeting last night. Younger man asked if I needed a form or anything and I said, “Just the money honey”. He looked at me like I had broken the first rule in the PC book. So it might be a generational thing also.
