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. Shocked

Sigh.... I fear there is no hope for you. Unless of course you were reading 'A Monetary History of the United States' or 'Capitalism and Freedom' in order to understand the inequities of the Piggie money system, so as to better overthrow it.
