"I am not making specific reference to the term babe"
Excellent - I'm very happy about that. So you just wanted to get in a couple of innuendos instead ("other insults. . . that lean to ethnic, racial, and nationality")?
But you couldn't stop there with the innuendos ("some sexual slurs that will get you slapped"). So are you claiming that "babe" is a sexual slur or not? Be careful when answering - "babe" is a term that some women use for guys too. And as far as I can tell, it's a term of admiration. And whether they use it, or I (and others on this forum) use it, there's nothing diminutive about it, except in minds of petty enforcers of their own narrow brand of propriety.

Today as i was walking down the street this drop dead gorgeous woman called me, yes me, a babe! So I punched her in the nose.

My apologies to all regarding all the white space. I had a 15-pound "Babe" handed to me as I was finishing up the post. I guess I proved the last phrase of my post. Getting all that white space in my post, now, that took breeding.
Yes Nadira, the 15-pound babe, wouldn't take umbrage to the term at nine months of age.
