I really never understood where the whole "honhon" comes from

[–] Unforeseen@sh.itjust.works 23 points 5 months ago (1 children)

I think it primarily comes from American cartoon culture. Little mermaid had it in 1989 but I know ive seen it in others. Probably even Looney tunes

Jesus Christ, it comes from cartoons dude. That's not something you were taught maliciously it's just a sound somebody thought was funny 40 years ago. Not everything is a conspiracy against you.

It's part of the "Maurice Chevalier funny French accent." Usually with a sexual innuendo. He doesn't laugh honhonhon in this clip, but you get the rest of it:
