It is used in Cajun English and Louisiana French to address someone affectionately, meaning "my love," "my dear," or "sweetheart," regardless of the person's gender (though more commonly toward women). People typically say "Mais, cher, come eat" or "Thank you, cher" in casual conversation. The term originated in 18th and 19th century Cajun French communities in Louisiana, as French speakers retained "cher" while English speakers adopted it locally, and remains a strong marker of Cajun and Louisiana identity.
