I had a co-worker who used to call me "young 'un" but it was like a running joke between us between I was well over 40 and he was like a year older. Now I'm 65 and he's 66 and when we see each other, I still hear "Hey! How are ya, young 'un?!"
If some whippersnapper would call me "young lady" in a "she's old so I'll make her feel good and call her young" scenario, I'd have to give 'em "the eyeball".

Careful there, young lady, or I'll make ya eat some possum stew down by my ce-ment pond...and now you sound like the Granny from the Beverley Hillbillies
Same here, when I worked at a prison some inmates would call me "boss", some would call me "OG", which is an expression of respect.
Never heard that before.
Good morning, you alraught duck?
I've heard 'Duck' being used on Coronation street.. do you live up North ?
Hate being called 'young lady'; one of my doctors addresses me something similar, feel it's condescending, though I'm sure You don't mean it that way! I'm just grumpy, don't mind me.
errrm...that's where I live almost right on the Mimram.... but no-one calls anyone 'Duck'' here... where are you getting this from... watching too much Corrie.
Yes, that one is a bit too patronizing.
this is the River Mimram where I live...pic taken in late Autumn /winter
Love it!
It's used often here, it's short for darling.
Oh, no wonder I haven't heard it. You're in Australia. Have you heard Honey Poo? Or Babycakes? LOL
