You know another thing that really grinds my gears? You're innocently watching a TV show or lousy movie and a long lost father meets up with his kid and calls him "son".
Who does that? Let me take a stab at an answer - NOBODY. Fathers don't go around addressing their kid as "son." That's pretty much why they give the things names. You know, to avoid confusion in public when they call out their name, they sort of want one kid to respond, not every one within earshot.
It's not like mothers go about calling their girls "daughter". I may be a curmudgeon but I at least use people's names.
