    LOL. I live in Baltimore, MD. "Hon" is a way of life over here. There is even a "Hon"fest complete with beehive hairdos. I don't get it, but I'm a transplant, so that is probably why.

    For me, the word is not bothersome. Hon, sweetie, babe - better than <insert expletive>. Now, another saying around here...

    ''you's all." DON'T get me started.

    Darn, you beat me to it! LOL

    I say it all the time but if I write it or text it, it's "hun" not "hon." "Hon" just looks stupid.

    You've got to be kidding me. I've been further even more decided to use even go need to do look more as anyone can. Can you really be far even as decided half as much to use go wish for that? My guess is that when one really been far even as decided once to use even go want, it is then that he has really been far even as decided to use even go want to do look more like. It's just common sense.

    OP: It doesn't bother me. I'm at that age where I sometimes say "hon" without realizing it. I try not to do that to people older than me, though. I can see where that'd be upsetting to people.

    I only ever use hun when talking to a girl, so it's not intended to be flirty.

    And I like being called hun. I think it's sweet. ^_^

    It only bothers me when people spell it "HUN". As in "ATTILA THE".

    hon looks stupid as opposed to hun?

    I do it. Some people do it to be condescending and some people are actually genuine.

    I live in Baltimore MD where everyone not only knows people who say Hon but are Hons.... And if you go to Hampden you can eat at Cafe Hon. Or go to Honfest.... Yeah, not a bother to me. Rather it makes me feel comfortable and at home when I hear it used.

    Honey, with me, it's not flirty, it's a way of life.
    Honey, sugar, sweetie, darlin...I use them all.

    My peeve is someone addressing our table saying "you guys."

    I did not sprout a weenie, I am not a "guy."

    Everybody has their thing I suppose.

    Hon, sugar, et al., don't bother me unless it precedes 'bless your heart,' because I know a well meaning insult is a'coming.

    My in-laws are all from Maryland/Pennsylvania, and they all say it all the time. It doesn't really bother me, though. I'm pretty sure I say it, too.

    QFT. I grew up in Pennsylvania, Hon or sweetie are pretty common. Kinda like how some people use 'dude' or 'bro'...

    I am from the south.. I say it all the time.. its second nature to me. If the lady gets a weird look on her face I make an effort not to say it to her again.
