Oh man! That honey-do list is going to be pretty long...

[wendymr]

What's a honey-do list? *puzzled*

[bloose09]

Sorry. A 'honey-do list' is a list of chores/errands given by one's spouse, partner, or girlfriend. Sometimes it is assigned to make up for mistakes or bad behavior.

It is short for 'honey do this' or 'honey do that'.

[wendymr]

Ah! That phrase doesn't exist in Britspeak and I've not heard anything like it (we also tend not to use 'honey' as an endearment). Interesting! Thanks for the explanation :)

[bloose09]

It doesn't help that it is an old fashioned US phrase. Probably dates back to the 1940's or 50's.
