honey bunch

Affectionate pet name

Honey bunch is an affectionate term of endearment, typically used between romantic partners or toward children.

Like similar compounds—honeybun, honey pie, sweetie pie—it layers sweetness for emphasis: Good morning, honey bunch.

The term feels warm and slightly old-fashioned, more likely heard from grandparents than teenagers.
