So in regards to your point, I absolutely would use that language in real life and no one I know would be offended by the words 'sweet summer child' unless maybe English was their second language. If EdibleFriend responded by getting in my face and calling me an ass and we weren't in public he would be on the floor very quick. And likely would if he said that to anybody. Analyze that how you will. The internet doesn't teach social skills.

I mean, I would also use sweet summer child in real life. I have. But people don't always know it's a joke, and I understand that. I certainly wouldn't deck them if they called me an ass, that seems a bit extreme. Probably would go on the verbal defensive, try to explain it was a joke, and feel bad that they took it the wrong way.

But if that's how you carry yourself through life, I can only say I feel bad for you that someone else's words would affect you so much as to prompt you to physically assault them. Just seems a bit silly, doesn't it.
