I didn't know the term "honey-do ham" existed until seeing in

In 44 years and a half dozen call signs I have to say I've never heard the
term either.

I'm wondering if it is something that was invented on the Internet, sort
of like the current popular practice of capitalizing HAM as though it were
some kind of an acronym.

I heard it first in 1992. The internet was not a significant factor then.

Interesting. I've been wondering about the same things!

I was licensed around the same time as you ('63, I think it was) and I also
had never heard of the "honey-do" term before seeing it here. Same thing
with capitalizing HAM.

My excuse is that I've been inactive for years so I haven't kept up.
