You find it annoying?

urgh that is one of my pet peeves too.

ditto.

It's like babe.

In the way I cringe

lol

its worse than babe

but, yeah. its a great way to annoy me immediately

I have this mental picture of the type of person who says "hon", and it isn't pretty!

I think of it as very regional. I don't think many areas use it.

rofl!

it has spread in all the wrong ways, though

Omg Queue, I thought I was the only one that it bothered. Sometimes I find it condescending. I'm not your "hon", you don't know me like that
