What is a hun?

[picklecustard]

I’ve seen this pop up a few times in threads eg ‘the sort of thing huns like’ or ‘that website is full of huns’

What exactly is a hun? Is it just somebody who says ‘hun’ a lot? What things are supposedly liked by huns?

It's a filthy and disgusting term used for people from the loyalist community in N Ireland.

I think you already knew op

There are enough snide comments about the type of women who use the term on here

Wow... well isn’t this depressing.

I’m shocked by how judgemental many of the replies are on this thread. And, sadly, many of those people who you are making a mockery of, will be lovely, decent human beings.

Give me a “hun” over this condescending snobbery any day!!

Nice to see women supporting women.

Hmm looking at a lot of the ‘fiat500 twitter’ and ‘hun’ tweets a lot of it just reminds me of the type of thing my nieces post on social media, both are intelligent girls at uni, it’s just the sort of stuff that a lot of teen/early 20s girls often post about?

In Glasgow it's a sectarian name for a Rangers football fan. Also a sectarian name for Protestants

Yeah, I was gonna say a sweet german. Southern women started this a long time ago, I believe, but waitstaff only place I (used to) hear it.

It's basically used in a condescending manner, imo, unless coming from your Mama. Mine doesn't.
Sounds like you guys are being talked down to, on some level.
