Some women find the word " hun " offensive . Are they justified or are they nuts ?. Your opinions as sincere as you can... .

I don't know why that would be

Nuts............

It would be to start a fight maybe..... .

Me no likey. Pet names from strangers are condescending, IMO.

I believe there are certain ladies in the Baltimore area that are referred to as "huns".

Everybody as their likes and dislikes, if you want people to respect yours you have to respect theirs.

a lot of people I know say hun/hon. I say it all the time

I say it to a friend or someone younger than me. Technically, I don't really care if it is said to me. As long as they don't call me "ma"!

To play the technical dweeb, "hun" has other meanings :)

But you're obviously referring to the shortened, "honey".
Personally, I *always* use the long version of any person's
name or pet name for a loved one - it's out of respect.
For example, "sweetheart" instead of "sweets" or "sweetie",
"Susan" instead of "Suzie" or "Angela" instead of "Angie".

Really? People you don't know throw terms such as that your way?

*Incredible*

(I'm thinking the OP was referring to using the term on
women he knows rather well - I *assume* that :)

i think the spelling is "hon" not "hun" which is like atilla the hun...
and i have a gf that calls me "hon". it is a term of endearment i hope.
why would i be affended unless someone said "ur a *****, hun", then i would or or maybe then again i could

I don't like it when men I don't know call me that, it's being too common, and it's rude.

well maybe it's ur hairdo, and all that latin u speak that nets u a nun...

Hahahaha!!! fancy seeing you lot here! LMAO!

i meant to tell him...nets u a hun, not nun. i don't know how u net a nun..well u could put a bag over one i guess, and she gets tangled up in her habit...
hello jess...

I saw it in some chat rooms as hun so I have no idea if it is hun or hon the correct one .

well take a poll
ask for opinions....
hun or hon which is it? for all those out there dying to answer...

Wow, people can get exorcised over the darndest things I was born in the South but travel the world. Just last week, I stopped in a little breakfast place in Georgia...the "gal" was about 25...I'm 59...called me "hon" It's a cultural thing...regional in this case. But a lot of any of this has to do with tone, inflection...anything can be said in a condescending manner. "Mister" for example...can be an insult! Consider the context, the source...and whether you just got up on the wrong side of the bed morning! Chill...
