Hii, this is a silly question but I'm new to the fandom and was curious about it

What is the 'dear boy' thing? I can't seem to remember when Aziraphale calls Crowley that and Google searches have sadly not been fruitful

I'm sorry if this is stupid, I know I missed something somewhere!!

Hiya! :) Aziraphale calls beings like that in the book :).

"flies all the way to this mountain and sharpens its beak—"

"Hold on. You can't do that. Between here and the end of the universe there's loads of—" The angel waved a hand expansively, if a little unsteadily. "Loads of buggerall, dear boy."

"But it gets there anyway," Crowley persevered.

...

"—then you still won't have finished watching The Sound of Music."

Aziraphale froze.

"And you'll enjoy it," Crowley said relentlessly. "You really will."

"My dear boy—"

"You won't have a choice."

...

"You, my fine jack-sauce. Come here. Now, if you inspect your breast pocket, I think you might find a fine silk handkerchief."

"Nossir. 'Mafraidnotsir," said the guard, staring straight ahead.

Aziraphale winked desperately. "No, go on, dear boy, take a look, please. "

...

"Fine, fine," Shadwell reassured the caller. "We'll get onto it right awa'. I'll put my best squad on it and report success to ye any minute, I ha' no doubt. Goodbye to you, sor. And bless you too, sor." There was the ting of a receiver going back on the hook, and then Shadwell's voice, no longer metaphorically crouched in deference, said, " 'Dear boy'! Ye great southern pansy." *Shadwell hated all southerners and, by inference, was standing at the North Pole.

...

He had not eaten for two days; he had not slept. He was approaching a trance state, making him one with the Bush, putting him into communion with his ancestors.

He was nearly there.

Nearly . . .

He blinked. Looked around wonderingly.

"Excuse me, dear boy, " he said to himself, out loud, in precise, enunciated tones. "But have you any idea where I am?"

"Who said that?" said Johnny Two Bones.

His mouth opened. "I did."

Johnny scratched, thoughtfully. "I take it you're one of me ancestors, then, mate?"

"Oh. Indubitably, dear boy. Quite indubitably. In a manner of speaking. Now, to get back to my original question. Where am I?"

Can we talk about how sweetly Crowley says "Goodnight, Angel" in GO Lockdown?

Or just the whole "Angel" and "dear boy" thing in general?

If I were Aziraphale I would swoon every time I heard that word.

I NEED season 3 to include "My Angel". Just once. It's all I need. I need Crowley to look at Aziraphale (possibly with a hand on his cheek), sigh and say "oh Angel. MY Angel".

And then Aziraphale calls them "dearest"

Dear boy,

Don’t apologize. They painted you blue, then wondered why you turned out this way.

“I’m sorry”, you’ll say.

You’ve done nothing wrong.

Don’t apologize,

Not to me.

Your existence is a blessing.

You deserve everything, and when I say that I mean it.

Dear boy,

Don’t apologize.

For you are whole.

If you see me saying shit like " I want to slap Regal" "he needs his hair pulled asap" its usually ECW Regal. The man was an insufferable brat and somebody has to do it
