Hello.

I saw the lines in a movie.


A: I'm not going with him. No offense.

B: None taken, cupcake. I know you're sweet on the champ.


Question.


1: what does "cupcake" means?
I am not totally sure if it's just one way of calling smo. But, I was just wondering
when or in which situation a native speaker say a word "cupcake" ? Is it an offensive word?

2. "On the champ" Is it a kind of idiom? Could you tell me what that means?


Thank you so much for talking the time and helping me out!

'Cupcake' is used here as a term of endearment like 'love', 'honey', 'sweetie-pie'',

She is sweet on the champ(ion) - she is in love with the champion. That, one assumes, is why she is not going with the other man.

Hi, fivejedjon.

Thank you for the comment ^_^

I am curious "Champion" could indicate that her boyfriend? , If there is also A's boyfriend.. I mean there are three people in this situation. A, B, and A's boyfriend. "Champion" could indicate that her boyfriend?

Without more context, we have no idea who 'the champ' is.

I have one more question. What does " Pop Girl" mean in this video? There is a line " Pop Girl's a better watcher than I am."

Could "pop girl" refer to "Chiness girl"? because the other watcher she's mentioning is a Chiness girl in this video.
