What’s a ‘thanks hun’ text?
And how could you be being unreasonable to receive a text?

Is your name Atilla? No other reason to call you “hun” that I can imagine.

Vomits in mouth

I just got called flower by a man at the gym. Not too thrilled but slightly better than babes.

MissConductUS seemed the normal 20 something London lad. It's clearly spreading

Baltimore is a very "happening" city, so that's certainly possible.

Just in case you thought I was joking:

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Culture_of_Baltimore#Slang

The name of the culture comes from the often parodied Baltimore accent and slang. "Hon" (/ˈhʌn/, an abbreviation of "Honey") was a common informal name for someone else. It is almost always used at the end of the sentence, e.g., "how bout dem O's, Hon?"

My big rough Yorkshire macho gardener ( less hot than it sounds)
Calls me Hun when he messages me
It’s weird

MissConductUS · 04/06/2018 20:46

Perhaps he fancies you a bit Pip.

Was he cute? Grin

How you could be unreasonable for getting a text from someone else?

Someone called me chicken last week.

MissConductUS · 04/06/2018 20:56

Someone called me chicken last week.

Well, that was fowl. Smile

I'm old enough that 20 something men call me Ma'am. Hmm

I had a job calling various healthcare workers round the country.

I think Duck was my favourite. Ma’am from the army nurses was also slightly odd. It was about 10 years ago now, i wonder if hun would be more prevalent. Unheard of then of course.

Just use my universal reply to this:

'Cheers Visigoth'

reallyanotherone · 04/06/2018 21:44

Love it fizzy!

Don’t think i have ever been called hun outside of facebook selling groups but will remember that just in case..
