I bloody well hate it !
In the urban dictionary it means: "short for honey, an endearing term , Hey hun, i missed you!"
Every time I see it or hear it, it reminds me of 'chaviness' , I picture the 'hun user' as one who smokes one fag/roll-up after another and drinks white lightening.
In Wiki- terms 'Hun' means - "The Huns were a group of nomadic pastoral people who, appearing from beyond the Volga, migrated into Europe c. 370 AD and built up an enormous empire in Europe."
I suppose its like a lot of words of late - our dictionary seems to be expanding at a vast rate with urban slang and text talk !
I mean take 'minger' for example - Urban dictionary meaning: "Although now more commonly used to define an extremely visually challanging appearance, the word minger originally came from scottish gaelic, meaning 'septic vagina'.
"
Now often used by chavs all over Britain to define anything remotely disgusting

Eurgh look Shaz, thats right minging, innit?
Wiki Definition: Minger - colloquial (and highly pejorative) British slang to refer to a man or woman perceived as unattractive, or something that's disgusting.
Munted is another word I often hear - Urban dictionary : " completely twatted of your face & gurning like a water buffalo.
fuck me, I was munted last night. "
Wiki Definition : Sorry can't find it on Wiki.
So where do these words come from ? Who makes them up and defines the meanings ?
It fascinates me how words and language have evolved and changed over the years. maybe I should study lexicology more often .
