Referring to people with terms of endearment such as honey, sweetie, and dear may be perceived as unprofessional and inappropriate. Referring to adult females as girls or gals and adult men as boys or guys may also be seen as disrespectful and diminishes their professionalism in the workplace. Using street language may be acceptable with family and friends, but it is not appropriate in a professional setting. Using terms that demean members of a racial, cultural, or ethnic group is discriminatory and offensive, and has no place in the workplace. None of the options listed are appropriate choices for language in the workplace.
