Me and and my just got into an arguement about something.
He said its acceptable for a man to call a man babe.
As in,, on Sopranos, Tony might ask a guy, ?can you get this for me ,babe?
or on full house Jesse would say to Danny, "good job on that gig babe"
I told him its not used for men to say to another man the word "babe".. I said it is used for females. Like if a man asked a woman "Are you feeling ok, babe?. the only acception would be if a female called her significant other babe.
Who is right?

I agree with you...a man referring to another man as "babe" just doesn't sound right to me....
babe..is usually used as an endearment....an expression of affection....

It's a cooler version of honey. It came from baby. It is said to mean nice.

Okay, many friends of mine say that to their S.O. and their kids. It doesn't matter who uses it, it matters who it's said to.
