Yorkshire has the same thing but informal very gendered honorifics (love, duck, petal, cock, mucker) but weirdly not that tied to the person's assumed gender, more just context. my favourite less gendered one is 'spaj' because nobody knows what it's about (but I think it's just sparrow).

I guess duck isn't gendered either. Generally used for someone being funny, unusual, or somewhere you wouldn't expect them to be.

It gets really odd in Wiltshire. Blokes going round addressing all and sundry as "moi loverr".

my grandfather used to call sparrows "spadgers" (rhymes with badgers)
