I’ll Never be Your Hun!

What is a word you feel that too many people use?

‘Hun.’ I can’t stand this new word. I cringe when I get called Hun. STOP!

Call me Honey if you like because I can be quite sweet when the mood takes me, but I’ll never be anyone’s hun!

I like today’s prompt because I’ve always wanted to have a rant about that awful word!
