Vicente, I suppose this will be knew to yo, probably to others, too, as it is said in Spain, I don't know if anywhere else:
amigo con derecho a roce
Quote:
To further muddy the water, people often call their children or even strangers "sweetheart" much like they do in Spanish when they call someone "mi amor" There was an old TV series called "Kojak" in which the lead character called everybody sweetheart, even other men.

Which reminds me of my days in London, everybody was (still is) called "sweetheart and darling" by the bus conductors. Always seemed very peculiar to me.
