Tom,

>What I told you about southern men calling beautiful women sugar is True. It is a compliment. As David has also disclosed waitresses in the south call men sugar.... if they are past a certian age and have some grey hair.

What? Past a certain age, and grey hair? I never knew that. Gee, thanks!

>Again, it is a friendly fun kind of thing and is not, in most cases, any type of come on.

It's not? You've just crushed my ego again, Tom! I may never go to Waffle House again.

>The term sugar is also used to describe the medical condition of diabetes. If you are in the south and hear someone say..... they have sugar... they are not describing a great love life.... they are telling you the person is diabetic.

And let's not forget "Come over here and give me some sugar", often spoken by grandma to the grandkids, when she's asking for a goodnight kiss.
