What's with London's fascination with the word 'darling'? It's one of the few words that everyone in the extremely multicultural city of London seems to have picked up! I am greeted with 'how are you darling' at the grocery stores and 'see you again darling' at the coffee shops; even the Moroccan guy at the dilapidated internet cafe and fax center said a 'thank you darling' after handing me my change. The darling-phrases sure are on everyone's lips, and perhaps also one of those few bits and pieces that every Londoner (referring to those who currently live in the city) seems to have caught-up regardless of whether he or she can otherwise comprehend or speak fluently in English.
