I don't really hear it either. I think it's some kind of a reprimand.
It's probably old fashioned, like darling. I'll bet the English still use
darling, and of course the Hungarians, only they pronounce it dahlink. I
have this vague idea Felix the Cat talked that way too, only I think that
was doll ink. He might have said tsk tsk, but now he's out of print.
Except in Hungary.
