I wish I could post the whole 16-page "essay" here but don't want to get Free Republic in trouble with the snobby, elite academic crowd hosting the content at the link given below.
If you are in the mood for some comic relief, you can view the essay in PDF form here.

I lime being called “honey.” What’s wrong with people?
Why we should care nothing about what this guy thinks... About:I am trained as a rhetorician, but my CV will demonstrate that I have a variety of research interests. I am mainly interested in how we make sense of the world and construct identity and relationships rhetorically. My focus is split between media/technology studies and rhetorical constructions of the body. I am currently working on two book projects: one titled “Sex, Language, and Control” and the other “Desiring Bodies,” which extends the work of my first book, “Naked Politics.”

I would much rather deal with a waitress calling me some term of endearment, rather than some hired help at some places who snarl and grunt at you.
My next point would be...
16 pages about Waffle House? with FOOTNOTES?!?
I can see Mitt in his porch-rocker saying, “Oh! I can totally relate!”
Bwahahahahahah
If it helps him understand, just substitute “dumb*ss” for “honey” and he’ll get to a level he can comprehend.
That was hilarious! Yankees and Left-coasters should stay out of the South. We’ve got some strange ways down here.
Hey, don’t blame us Yankees for this guy, he’s from California...
>>A person can get trampled to death there when they bring out a fresh pan of bacon for the buffet.
Umm...yeah...sorry about that. You were in between me and some crispy, delicious BACON!
