Diddums is a British little cry, usually said with a fake-sweet baby voice: Aw, diddums. You use it when you are not really sorry — you think the other person is making a fuss with no good reason. Between adults it is teasing or mocking. A parent might once have said it softly to a small child who had a tiny bump, but that kind use is not the usual one you will hear now. Do not say it to someone who is truly hurt; it would land as cruel. American English barely uses it. The sound comes from a squeezed-down Did they do something to you? — the sort of thing you say to a crying toddler, later turned into a joke at a grown-up's expense.
（諷刺）哦～好可憐哦（娃娃腔；不是真心安慰）
組成A squeeze of did 'em (they) do something (to you)? — baby-talk that later became a teasing cry.
