Repeating Eugene Onegin's Mistake

[DavidW]

I haven't seen Sean in the forum for quite a while...

I think he just started up grad school and he's busy.  Didn't he say something about starting to work on a doctorate?

Grad school?  Grade school's more like it.

Why are you calling grown men "darlings"? Is this an English thing I don't know about? 

I'm interpreting "darling" and "sweetheart" as P's put-down terms, said in a sarcastic tone to persons of both sexes.

If so, that's almost cool. When said to a girl, I think it could be if used sarcastically- but to a guy, it just doesn't seem cool no matter how you use it.

Yes, I thought he was going to Scotland.....he will find the women there more of an all round challenge than he is used to I think. Though I guess he may concentrate on the non-indigenous ones. Scots women generally would have more sense............and less patience with his ilk.
