what i have noticed in these is a common need to explore the human condition, being from drug induced visions, social standings, to things that are said to one another.
I found this rather interesting, i think that people must respond to things in life that they either see or are subconsciously aware of.
I always like to explore text and language in what i do and how they can be mirrored with visual contexts.
I have been at work this week and noticed that the happy mood of the 5 day long weekend allowed people to be more friendly with me as i served them. From this i found that people used many different terms of endearment while talking to me. Ranging from 'Mate' to 'Pet'.
this made me wonder, is it engrained in us to offer these terms to others to show how we feel, or to hide behind them?
I admit that i call people lovely or loveliness, but why?
What allows us to call our lover 'darl' after a session of lovemaking, but then call the checkout chick that serves you the same term..'darl'?
This is a list of what i either have been called or heard others be called
-babe
-sweetie
-cutie
-lovely
-darl (darling)
-Pet
- Mate (matey)
-sexy
- honey buns
- muffin
there are many more but i can't remember them at this moment.
I found this website:

in which some of the terms are quite funny..
it might be interesting to do a small series of pictures that illustrate them.
Most likely the ones that only apply to women, as i am one. or only the ones that apply to both. this could be interesting.
Web definitions
- A term of endearment is a word or phrase used to address and/or describe a person or animal for which the speaker feels love or affection. Terms of endearment are used for a variety of reasons, such as parents addressing their children and lovers addressing each other.
