Yeah I'd say in the modern days "Hun" or "Hon" (I do see it spelled and pronounced both ways, especially down south) as slang for "honey" is way freaking more common then a insulting term for German or a reference to the bad ass tribe "The Huns" or the kick ass alt rock band "Atilla and the Huns"

"Hun" in WWI slang is often prefixed by "the Beastly". As in "the Beastly Hun". Oddly this takes some of the sting out of it.

By WWII it had become something of a joke, as with this ditty about the Focke-Wulf 189 recon aircraft:
"Our Fuehrer thinks of everything
We're lucky little Huns
The 189's a great machine
For foxing ack-ack guns"
