[Opinions] Re: Honey
It reminds me of Miss Honey from Matilda, and how everything associated with her seemed to a have a golden glow (or that was my perception as a kid; I haven't seen that movie in decades). And I feel like it's kind of hick chic twee (if that's even a thing), which has some appeal to me...like, Honey and Bubba could be a sibset...they give the impression of being humble and warm, nonthreatening...friendly terms you'd maybe hear in a dive with great food and blues playing on a jukebox.I've been called honey a lot by complete strangers...which is not something that's true of any other endearment-as-word-name...and at some point in my late twenties, I started addressing most of the baby mammals I encounter as "honey"...so it's not a name that I have trouble with being called or imagining calling someone, but it's not something I'd put on a birth certificate either. It's too sticky...or tacky...and there are word associations like honeypot.
