Back in the 70s is when I witnessed this. Darling is a sign of affection... Doc ling is monkey's butt hole..
There was a rather short American who had the hots for a girl who worked in a bar. She did not like short guys.. He would always go to the bar and try to chat her up and even buy her drinks. He did not speak Thai.. Every time he would see her he would of course say hello and try and get her to go with him.
"Hello Mia" he would say.
"Hello Doc ling" she would say and with the accent he never knew.. I never told him and to my knowledge no one else did either. She never went with him for the year that I know of no matter how much money he offered.
I call many of my caddies doc ling as it is an inside joke just as several always say Saw Wat Dee Doc ling to me..
Language of sound alikes can be amusing IMO
