I tend to cringe at honorifics. I hate being called Ma'am, because it doesn't feel age apropriate to me. Mistress will raise my hackles on end as well, since the only people that I wouldn't mind referring to me as that, know I don't like it and say it to be indignant - and others that would, well, have no place to be calling me that because I'm not their mistress, damnit. I don't mind Miss, and actually think it's kinda cute. On the other hand, from those I like.... terms of endearment of a various sort make me melt. I particularly like "doll", I don't know why. From someone I don't know... if it feels saccharine sweet or ingenuine, I'm rather annoyed. If it's just a casual manner of speech (I say "darlin'" or "honey" without even thinking about it), I don't mind but it doesn't effect me either way. There's my rather disjointed .02
