I thought "oğlum" meant "my son". Maybe there is a different meaning???

yes it does but what does it mean when a guy says it to a girl and why would he use that?

calling a girl "oğlum" is wrong for boys it is right.you can call a girl "kızım" but it is a rude way sometimes.especially if you are angry when you say it.

a boy calling his gf "oğlum" is really hyper-slang

Could you perhaps use "oğlum" for a girl in the same way that the Americans often use the word "Dude" for both guys and girls?

/c.a.

i think it is possibble to use it like "dude".

but female version actually is "kızım" not "oğlum"

i think American female version is "dudette", right?

-you call your older brother "abi".
-you also call someone "abi" who is a male and a little older than you.if he is too much older than you you dont call him abi.
-you also call someone who is a male and younger than you -even if he is a child- to encourage him.little boys feel better when you call them "abi" they feel as if they are adults.
-if you call your gf "abi" this completely slang.

´abe´ is used in Trakya region of Turkey as a form of address.
