]]> Comment on “Hunny”? “Hun”? HUH?!… by Darcy http://dickpeligro.wordpress.com/2009/10/03/hunny-hun-huh/#comment-132 Darcy Sun, 04 Oct 2009 15:34:09 +0000 http://dickpeligro.wordpress.com/?p=603#comment-132 I think there's more at work here than electronic communication, pinching pennies, or problems in the educational system. Hunny may be a diluted blend. It's been my experience for 4 years that text messages are charged a flat rate per message, and not by character. We also have access to unlimited texting plans. I'd like to know what cell phone network charges per character and club them with a sturgeon. Is that a telegram pricing structure? It could be an alignment with pronunciation. Hun has a spelling that looks more like it sounds. Hon looks like one should say hawn. Winnie the Pooh dialog contains hunny and not honey, and the bear's a little popular. Or, since the term hunny-bunny is pretty popular, maybe it was the word bunny that seduced the first word into becoming more bunny like? You know how those rabbits are, they multiply like crazy.

I was rather struck to find that recently, someone arrived here as the result of using the phrase <strong>"<em>paris hitler nude</em>."</strong> Perhaps I can help clarify things for this individual. Now, yes -- Adolf Hitler DID ride into the French capital as a victorious conqueror in June 1940, but to the best of my knowledge (which can be independently verified by photographic journalistic archives in the public domain) he was not nude when he did so.
