Home Music Lane

It's all about the music, dude! Sit down, relax and listen to some tunes.

Touché, Alan - I've never addressed any of them as "babe"

I always use their names or nicknames, just as I did in the OP of this thread. A very high percentage of the high-school and college girls I work with are in fact babes however!

Many years ago, I did run in to a cellist who told me that one of her other acquaintances always greeted her with the words, "Hey, babe!". Far from being offended by this, she was rather amused by it and found it rather endearing - part of the other person's charm.

It's presumptuous to think that one can speak for all women and lay down laws of political correctness by forbidding the use of a harmless descriptor. If a girl told me she didn't like the use of the word, babe, then of course I wouldn't use it (not that I do anyway). When some guy on a discussion board tells me not to use that word, I start to wonder how this kind of arrogance originated.
