Darlo is classic Australian abbreviation slang for the Sydney inner suburb of Darlinghurst — following the Aussie tradition of sticking '-o' on the end of place names and turning them into mates. In the UK, it doubles as a nickname for Darlington. The Aussie version is more widely known, tied to Darlinghurst's reputation as a gritty, vibrant neighbourhood that's gone through gentrification cycles.
We lived in Darlo for two years before the rent got completely out of hand.
