"'What'll it be, Hun?' -- Southern…

Many Southern waitresses, according to the stereotype, address a diner with “hon” (honey). This as nothing to do with Attila the Hun, but there are jokes.

“I get called ‘Hun’ sometimes by waitresses. My reply: ‘Actually, I go by Attila’” was posted on Twitter by George Rapp on July 8, 2009. “‘More coffee, Hun?’—waitress to Attila” was posted on Twitter by Ken Jennings on February 1, 2013.

“Attila walked into a diner in Texas, put down his sword and shield on the stool next to him. The waitress asked, ‘What can I get ya, Hun?’” was posted on the newsgroup Google Groups: The Grif.net on April 20, 2018. “Attila walks into a quaint Southern diner.

Attila (/ˈætɪlə, əˈtɪlə/; fl. c. 406–453), frequently called Attila the Hun, was the ruler of the Huns from 434 until his death in March 453. He was also the leader of a tribal empire consisting of Huns, Ostrogoths, and Alans among others, in Central and Eastern Europe.

When waitresses, bartenders or baristas address me as ‘hun’, I feel like Attila for a microsecond..
