My original reason to post this was because latley someone I know has been saying it, and its always in situations where im being told something obvious.
E.g.
Searching through my course wear to find the page the prof is on..
"Uh, hun its the next page.."
....
really.. thanks..
... maybe because of the context its being used in I just dont like it. I dont mind when my manager at work calls me it... but I know its because she doesnt remember names very well .. " Can you get that for me hun?' -- somehow less annoying. Maybe also because shes significantly older than me as well..
In terms of names with my boy friend.. Sometimes hell call me Hunny Buns
--( Honey - doesnt make it seem as cute..)
or some times gorge- like short for gorgeous which I guess sounds kinda odd..
most often we call each other bum. I dont know how that started but its just a thing now, we dont even notice sometimes.. its just like... Hey bum, whats up?
I guess it must be odd to overhear in public. Ha oh well.
