Yikes- Never come to Australia. There's alot of casual closeness embedded into our culture, that could easily be misunderstood.

Shaking hands is fine and has been for centuries. Calling someone hun or similar is disrespectful.

If it's your boss. It's just a term of endearment. If you find it offensive casually or in passing you need to get a grip

I live in the north of England where hun, luv, duck, sweetie etc are normally used to address everyone. OK coming from your gran but not from anyone else especially in a work setting.

In the UK saying things like hun or love to the opposite gender is just the norm. It's part of British language in a lot of places. I don't use it personally but most people will if they have no clue who you are
