Call a jack a jack. Call a spade a spade. But always call a whore a lady. Their lives are hard enough, and it never hurts to be polite.

And yet...also so true of men. In a person's vocabulary, every word has its own shade of meaning.

Har har :p
I remember my Dad could imbue the word 'love' (as in, 'pass me that love', or 'listen love...') with an array of meanings with a slight difference in tone.

"You bastard" can be anything from a friendly greeting to a declaration of war, depending on tone and context.

Yeah. Similar here. Bastard can be a term of abuse or a friendly term.
