[QUOTE="HaoZi, post: 410538"] I call a lot of people "Hon". I'm terrible with putting names and faces together, it's much easier to call everyone "Hon" or what have you. I grew up down south, but not Deep South, and one thing I remember is that a lot of the "friendliness" I encountered was stunningly superficial. Not that I didn't know a lot of people who were genuine about it, but most of them were in my grandma's age range, the ones in my parent's age range down to mine were something else entirely. Most of them would call it "being polite" and maybe it is, but to my eye and ear it was dishonest because I saw how they talked behind the backs of the people they'd just greeted so "politely". Is this a normal thing, and just some social norm that I don't get? And I think you're right we'd get along in real life! (You never accepted my FB request...hint hint). [/QUOTE]
