doll

A term of endearment used in South Africa for a female friend (woman to woman), or for a girlfriend/wife (man to woman). This word seems to be used only by people who have a nasal whiney way of talking, such as kugels.

"Hey, doll, you're looking sexy, hey!"

"Hey, doll, if they want to call me a kugel, fine! Most of my gynie's patients are kugels anyway."
