HelpRe: I'm not British... (m)
in reply to a message by brunette ambition
You're right, it is known as a term of endearment, but it's not as common as "love" or even "cock" (where I live, a very regional term that I grant you, and not representative of the whole of the UK - don't ask me the etymology because I can't tell you lmfao). "Babe" is more common than "honey". I think "honey" is used more for kids as opposed to partners?
although "Babe" is very... idk 1980s / 1990s ? It's a bit dated
Edit: I've also heard "pigeon" used far more than "honey"

Pigeon?!
I'm also in the UK and have never heard that!
I do hear honey or more often hon/hun though.

Duck or ducky is more common than pigeon where I am. That and bab. (Not babe, Bab. Any Brits could probably now work out where I am...)

Yeah pigeon and duck. Don't know exactly where they're most common, but pigeon is usually reserved for children (from what I understand anyway). We have a thing for poultry apparently lmao
