The word 'HUN'

[VHunter]

Well, it could be worse.. Someone could call you "Boom-boom" or "Tweakies", or "monkey butt" or "wee evil", or "hooligan" or or or or or etc...
Yes, I use those "terms of endearments. That's how I talk to my kids LOL:lol:

Day before yesterday, I had a client (also a friend) over for her rebalance. I had squeezed her into my schedule when kids were about, but she didn't mind because I was doing her a favour and they're quite good about staying in their playroom when I'm working.
Anyway, they had gotten a bit rowdy, and I hollered out "Evil #1 & Evil #2" and they answered "Yes Momma"... She bust a gut laughing.


I have used 'hun' and 'luv' for years. Learned it from my Nana who is from over the pond where most of you are. For me, it is an endearment, used to mean that you are more than an acquaintance to me. I 'care' about you.

Now if someone over this side of the pond calls you a babe or a chick, THAT is considered patronizing.
How funny is that?

I do understand though. Sometimes, certain words can be annoying. I HATE being called "Maam".
HEY!! I'm not THAT old yet!!!

or "honey-pie"???:lol:

:lol: Honeypie is actually one I use, I dont know where it came from but as its really an extension of hun or hunny I guess that might be it!

 

[cathill]

why do people feel the need to say it in the first place though!! why not just say what you want to say and thats that! or am i too black and white!

 

[~Emmsybabes~]

I use Hun lot's.....
On here I don't know a lot of peoples real names....its better than saying hello you whatever your name is lol !
In texts I often use it to my mates or people I get on really well with, its less "official" than hello mrs xxx xxx

I use it sometimes outside of online, not often though I don't think.

But what reeeeeeaaalllllyyyyy does annoy me is when my mate texts me, and spells it HON.....gggrrrrrrrrrrr ITS NOT RIGHT !!! (In my little opinion anyway lmao :green

I personally don't mind being called anything ....whatever go's !!! :lol:

~~emm's hides and waits to see what the geeks throw at her to see if she is telling the truth!!! ~~ lol

 

[stoney]

I'll refrain from now on then but I do think posts read as very friendly when people use their turns of speech.

I wasn't going to reply to this until I saw this quote! Don't you dare change Min. You are lovely just the way you are!!!

I call people Darlin and Sweetheart all the time, I can't help it, it something I grew up with and couldn't change it even if I tried.

There are lots of things on here that make me cringe but being called 'Hun' certainly wouldn't be one of them :lol:

 

[Lynne Baker]

[pure]

I don't mind things like this at all, (as long a it's nice!). I call my daughter Gracie-Pie, don't know why but it has stuck, and everyone in the family just calls her Pie now instead, she loves it! :green:

You could be called a lot worse you know!:lol:

[bombini]

Not really bothered about hun but I can see where you are coming from as I have recently joined a pregnancy forum and everybody calls their babys either bean or bubs, and it annoys the hell out of me I absolutley destest the word bubs don't know why but I hate it so much !!!!

 

[Gilly T]

Only started calling people hun when I came on here. Don't know what I thought about it then really, think I was neutral but now I don't mind it at all. I think it can be endearing.

And.. I think it's a million times better than being called 'love' or 'lovely' or 'lovey' which is the norm for round here
