Goddamn British English!

[Naiwen]

What the hell does x and xx mean in UK English? I’ve been texting a UK guy and he’s been calling me his lady friend and etc, sending me x and xx at the end of every text? To the Canadian or Yank, ya Brits talk and behave in an intelligible way. He’s also been calling me my dear, darling, honey and etc? My hen? Are these British terms of endearment?

They're endearments. If you have such a problem with British people, maybe you should stop texting this one?

x - Kiss
xx - Hug
dear - Self explanatory
darling - Self explanatory
honey - Universal term of endearment
My hen - That one's colloquial to parts of the UK, same with pet, or my pet

All English-speaking countries have colloquialisms, even between the four UK countries English has different words for things, but even between the US and Canada words are different.

I don’t have a problem with them, I just find it funny how you guys talk.

Are you okay with people making fun of how Canadians talk? Just curious.

Yep. I don’t mind personally.

I even watch humour shows about different kinds of English and French.
