It's an Americanism, a term of endearment similar to "sugar" and "honey".
Getting back to the subject, allow me to add Master and Margarita to the packing list. It's guaranteed to alleviate boredom. |

He? You've described the COUNTRY, not a person. Actually, some places have books; that's where "laughable" comes in...... |

That's the curse of left-wing politics - one split after another: Bolsheviks, Mensheviks, left SRs, right SRs, Trotyskyists, neo-Trotskyists, Trotskyites, neo-Trotskyites, Maoists, Taoists, Stalinists, Stalagmites, Stalagtites, etc etc.  |

I've mellowed in my middle age and now advocate moderation in all things except red wine.  |
