I only call girls that when I wanna patronise them. Alright flower, stop with the hoovering. The football is on. Nice call on the using mate cos you've forgotten their name. I hate going to call them by their name and you pause cos you've forgotten it, and they immediately know you've forgotten their name. Awkward. So just call 'em mate.
