People who say "Hon"

Haha, it's one of the few terms of endearment I do not care for.0
-
Haha...I say this all the time along with "sweetie". Its just how I talk...maybe its cause Im a bartender.0
-
It depends on who says it for me. If it's an older woman I don't mind so much, but if it was a guy, I'd probably look at him funny0

At school I call all the kids Treacle as I cannot remember 200+ kids names.0

It bothers me because I can read men very well and I know its being said in a flirty way. I told one my male coworkers that it bothers me and he stopped doing it..Now he dont know what the hell to say to me..lol..0
-
It's disrespectful if you don't know the person.
ORLY? Sorry you feel that way, hon.0 -
I don't say Hon, but I do say sweetie or sweetheart when I am working. Most of the people don't mind it. I don't discriminate I say it to both men and women. But mostly men. lol0

We say Hun in the UK, I have never actually seen it spelt like that but obviously it makes more sense, weird eh.
Oh and I say, dear, chuck, luv, petal, that's just the way I speak, Ive been raised to speak nicely to women and I abide by that, its not flirty, I say chap, pal, buddy to the fellas, some people use words like this as their natural dialect, If people take offense they need to lighten up lol
would also like to point out . . . .Im from the North East of England so the whole southern stereotype is out the window lol0 -
Nope. Say it all the time. My family and I are from PA/MD so we say it all the time.0
-
you must not be from the south, hon.0
-
No, hun.0
-
lol...I don't mind it...but when they say "dear"...it makes me feel old :-)0

It drives me nuts when a stranger says it to me. Especially a girl or woman who is younger than me.
I worked with a women at a job last year, and she literally said it to every single customer she spoke to throughout the day. I cringed all 4,567 times a day she said it.0 -
BALTIMORE!
That's what I was going to say!!0 -
I LIKE it. Its as close to a woman flirting with me as I ever get.0
-
I find it annoying some times.. depends on who it comes from but if guys say it to me then no it does not bother me at all
Im just the opposite. I don't have any problem with it if a woman says it to me, I think its a friendship thing. When a man does it, I find it very very condescending. I usually respond...Thank you honey cakes.....they hate that.0 -
I have family in the Delaware, Maryland, and Virginia area. Everyone says Hun! I can be anywhere in the world and if I hear an American accent and the words Hun, I automatically assume the person is from that neck of the woods. It doesn't bother me.0
-
If you are raised in the south everyone is hon or sugar. I say it all the time regardless of the gender of the person I am talking to.0
-
Hon/hun doesn't bother me nearly as much as "babe"... I have to laugh every time, because it just sounds so ignorant!0
-
It needs to be made known that NOT everyone born and raised in the South talks like this.
You can tell who is doing it in a flirty way and who isn't. I kind of think it is tacky. That is just MY opinion. Not knocking anyone that does it.0 -
I'm guilty. I'm a southerner. I don't intend it to be cheesy or flirtatious. I just prefer it to babe, or sweetie, etc. I blame the people I grew up around. Sweet tea, boiled peanuts and 'hon.'0
-
waitresses are exempt, it's okay for a waitress to say it. I had a boyfriend once who did it when he was about to say something true but hurtful so now I can't stand it either.0
-
My mom does it all the time, I don't (I have a co-worker who does too). I personally find nothing wrong with it because my entire family on my Mom's side is like that. I guess it depends on just where you grow up and such.0
-
I live in a southern town and work with a lot of older women. I constantly get called that.
doesn't bother me0 -
I am a ministry partner for our church for kids in middle and high school..I dont say 'hun"...but when talking to them..either male or female.. I say "sweetie" there are over 300 of them..and dont know everyone's name..but it works..
But then I come from a family where my dad calls all the women he meets "love"..so for me..its no big deal..0 -
Since I am a Southerner by association, I can tell you for a fact that it is said all the time. It doesn't bother me at all and I find it friendly.0

Doesn't bother me a bit, Hon.
