Near as I can tell, this ain't the 50s or the 60s so those terms of
endearment don't work no more. That's just the way it is. :-) Feel free
to address your close friends in this manner though - with their
permission.

I used to go to school with a guy named Dago. We were so dumb back then
that we thought it was just his name, he called himself Dago and that's
how it was printed in our high school yearbook.

I saw the guy, whose real name is Robert the other day - he told me that
he's a pastor at a church he started. Things have sure changed. He got
religious, we both grew up and got a lot smarter, the world is a
different place. Me call him "Dago?" No ****ing way...
