I thought it was darlingI just think it's weird to call anyone dear whatever. I just don't use that word so often. To me it's just icky and all the people on forums I see using it are REALLY fucking annoying. Everyone else is just like "oh hey, my kid did such and such" or "my daughter is being a douche today" rather than all these abbreviations. To me abbreviations like that are indicative of people who spend way too much time on the internet discussing a specific topic.
