my family's roots are based in the south, and words like "hon" or "sweetie" are commonplace just like "sugar" and "dear" are. i also usually get it from older people and it doesnt bother me at all. the only time it bothers me is when someone's being a shit on the phone and saying sarcastically. then i want to reach through the phone and rip out their voice box.
