I want to say "goodnight my sweet kitten" where kitten is a pet name for a female friend
In this case, if it translates into something less than platonic (or more than platonic, depending on your definitions) and ventured into nearly vulgar without being crude, that would be fine
This being one of those situations where eventual toplessness or clothelessness won't be a negative issue

While my question may be of a personal and therefore not professional nature, encouraging someone to directly humiliate themselves is not professional at all
You're the one lamenting that the professional attitude makes the site less fun? I'm only encouraging you, if you're here for "fun" and not "professional", since apparently they don't go together, to leave.
I believe the EL&U chat has had members kicked and has entered a cooldown before
However, this is neither the EL&U chat, nor am I a moderator on either that site or FL&U. I just ask that people keep it neat when those moderators aren't present for the site in question.
Hang on, I'm on the phone, need to focus on that for 2 minutes
The difference is I asked a specific French Language understanding question. I didn't give my pre-existing phrase as I didn't want to dilute the conversation unduly at the beginning. I have a phrase, but think it wrong for the situation. So I asked if this is the place to ask for that, then asked the question when prompted. I gave ancillary data to the question after asking, thinking that ancillary data may encourage an appropriate answer. I didn't come here to talk about topless women.
You were deliberately suggesting I be an ass to another human being, as your first response to me in answer to the question.
Ancillary data != unprofessional, even tho the end-goal of the conversation might be. Being an ass = unprofessional.
I request that my account on French.stackexchange.com may please be deleted.Inconvenience is regretted.
I do not really know French and for a variety of reasons, I request my account's deletion.And thank you for being very nice to me some time back!

Among the classical pet names, quite a few are regularly used for both men and women : am...

Using chatte and criticizing bitch will get you into trouble.
@jcolebrand @Jez chienne would be completely inappropriate. It's not the same as bitch, but it's not far from whore
chatte is ok as a pet name. It can also mean cunt, but only as in female sex organ, not as in an insult. Calling your girlfriend ma chatte does not imply that she is a sex object, but if she says “ma chatte” she is talking about her sex in a very crude register.
calling anyone other than your girlfriend (or wife or whatever) chatte is inappropriate
There are many things in this state in French, and a fair part of the state speaks some French, and in the Southern part of the state they speak a LOT of French, or bastardized French, depending on the region.
for one has an e after it, so that hears, while the other is sharper. And still, that's the french -r, almost unpronounceable for anyone with a sane throat.
