Dear Teachers,
1. Young people in American often say these to girls: �Hey! Sugar� or �What�s going on beautiful?�.
- �what�s going on?� here means �what�s up� or � Hi!� as a greeting, right? �sugar� and �beautiful� here mean lovely nicknames used to address, right?
Thanks a lot to Teachers,
Stevenukd |

Yes.

Yes and no. They are being used as nicknames, and they can be used in an affectionate way. They can also be used in a harrassing way, and that is probably true in this case. |
