Word of the day (well, it's not a new word, but its widespread use of it is new to me):

Calling everyone "love"

It's mostly done by men talking to women... even around the office... I hear, "Is that fine love? You ok love?"

Get to certain parts of England, such as Sheffield and I think Nottingham and you find that 'Love' gets replaced by 'Duck'! Now what's that all about

And in the West of Scotland it will be replaced by "hen".

And if you think London English is strange ... try this lot from my country.
