You know, man, as...appropriate...as that might be for Red, since we know her, and know why someone would call her that...if I were her man, I could NEVER call her that pet-name in public, because anyone else who didn't know us would probably misunderstand, and think that I was using a pet-name that was degrading.
I realize that it probably doesn't speak too well of me that THAT'S where my mind went first, and my immediate reaction was, "Oh no. No no no no no." But then again, I do work with middle schoolers. >_<
