    It’s more directed at the French than French-speakers. It’s supposed to be making fun of the (exaggerated) way that French people laugh in movies and shows. It has a nasal component to it.

    I’ve been to French Canada and France and I can confirm nobody actually laughs like that. It’s just another dumb way people shit on France.

      I live next to French Canada. I can confirm that a not-insignificant number of Quebecois laugh like that

      Yea I’m aware it’s directed at French people. I’m not French but I have interacted with a lot of French people and I’ve never heard a laugh that comes close to that.

        You asked, I answered. I’m getting the impression you’re just here to complain.

          Yes, and thank you for your answer.

          I have been to France.

          It’s only an impression. I’m not complaining and I was interested in knowing what those “hon” are supposed to represent. I didn’t really expect an answer but I’m thankful for all the answers.
