It means affection, and baby, darling, sweetheart, etc. It can be nice and affectionate and welcome if it's to your sweety, or it can be obnoxious and harassing if it's to a stranger.

You know how some norteaméricanos say "hun" (for honey)? A waitress at a diner would say, "what can I get you, hun? A cup of coffee?"

I've heard some Latinos say, 'oye, cariño, ¿me puedes ayudar con algo?" which would be, "hey, hun, can you help me with with something?"

But it is also very commonly used to address someone you like or are attracted to - sweety, honey, etc. - Brett1971, Dec 11, 2009
