Being called princess

Southern women can make an insult out of anything, I swear to God. "Ma'am," "Sweetie," "Baby Girl," anything.
I love you, guys.

If you were complaining about something, like your hair salon stylist did a terrible job and is not worth $200, and she says, "Ok, princess." Yes, that's an insult.

If she is friendly and happy to see you, and when she sees you, always says, "Hi princess!" Then no, not an insult, that's just what your friend likes to say.

I posted earlier and said it was an insult, but based on what you describe here I'm changing my answer. Seems like a quirk but meant to be friendly. No insult.

Me too.

And they say the NASTIEST things about others, and then end it with "bless her heart, i just love her to death"...

It was quite eye-opening to a transplant from Northern Europe. Never did quite get the hang of it, probably because I can't drawl.

I consider a couple of my friends "princesses." Sometimes I'll say, "she's the coolest princess I know." It's a kind insult:-/

Oh, me, either. But I love sitting next to them at parties.

One of my friends were being bullied you could call it and I told the person (Bullying) her to "F*ck off" In reply the person said "what're you gonna do about it princess" Oh I really wanted to punch her in the face. It had been the third time someone has said that and I act nothing like a princess. So if anyone has anything to comeback or something do tell me so I don't punch this b*tch.

Yes, a grown woman should be called "Queen".

to me it’s really not
i take princess as a compliment and i’m sure if it’s someone you’re close with and loves you imply it as a compliment too
but i just really depends on the context

I've never heard this as a casual term in my society.

Is her kid a girl? Maybe she calls her princess and started calling adults that too. Either way, if you’re friendly with each other I’m sure it’s not meant as an insult.

It means you’re a spoiled brat.

Why was this thread raised from the dead?

A men’s prison is another place you really don’t want to be called princess. Ask me how I know.
