Nicknames/Pet Names - The worst you've ever heard?

Unpossible · 10-12-2006 11:07PM

the gf calls me Xiao Gou Gou (because Im born the year of the dog)
I call her Xiong Mao (she loves pandas*) or Hou Zit (or however monkey is spelled in chinese), she was born year of the monkey.

Recently her friend keeps calling her JiaJia (her name twice, in china its used on a young person or child), I think its cute so I use it too sometimes.

I dont mind using those names when in the west and nobody understands, but I have to admit I felt a little embarrassed using them in china.

Its the only relationship where I have had petnames with my partner.

*edit: oh and because she says chinese people refer to rings under you eyes as panda eyes, and she didnt get much sleep for a few weeks last year because of exams, so I got stuck calling her panda from that too

I have a friend who calls his girlfriend "Chicken". I think he often does it without realising. I was out for a meal with them once and overheard him say - "eat your chicken, chicken"

Most insensitive ever : A chap I used to work with years ago had a very bad case of all-over-body acne (requiring major drugs to keep it under control). He was called "brunch". Ouch!

Ha ha ha ha ha oh I had a good laugh at that! I suppose you could be an arsehole of a cowboy

Petal is one that really gets me. My cousin calls his missus petal and I just wanna beat his head in everytime he says it :mad:

A friend of mine refers to his gf as 'snugglebuns'.

Another friend calls his gf 'c*nty' :eek:...apparently it has a different meaning to them (I don't know?) but they don't seem to care how it makes them look when he calls her that in public...

I once referred to Mrs. r3nu4l as 'her indoors', seeing as how I now live in Engerland...won't be doing that again anytime soon, at least not within earshot

My nick name, for the last 9 years is Pup.
My boyfriend calls me by my surname, which is Lucey, so its not that bad. i actually hate hearing him say my first name now..it just sounds...wierd.
I hate "cottonsocks"

I am getting 'honey pie'. I mean, what the hell is a honey pie? :P
I get dear, honey, pi.
I like pi...

I also heard a girl call a guy "grahamers" (in a extreme D4 accent too)

Do Irish still go on like this?

"Sugar Pie", "Sugar Plum", "Baby Cakes", "Cuddle Buns"

Baby talking in public should be viewed as a federal crime, which will be punished to the fullest extent of the law.

Baby talking in private is just wrong.

Ah very much like John and Mary from Father Ted then.

~Rebel~ · 11-12-2006 09:55PM

in terms of individual ones (not the usual, like baby, sweetie etc)

she calls me goggly bear (monsters inc) and Paulus.

i call her Wench and Pedanticus. in a cute way of course.

Captain Corelli · 11-12-2006 11:45PM

The word 'pet' has been retired from my every-day lexicon: it is reserved for my current gf(maybe I can use that as my xmas present this year).

She calls me either 'sexy Irish bartender' or 'f*ckface', depends on her mood is I guess.

Overly-luvey names are kinda weird. The weirdest 1 I have heard is 'soupy'. I heard a guy call his gf that. I lost all respect for him...

watna · 12-12-2006 02:22PM

I love pet names! I like babytalk too. I think it's nice to see coupleas all loved up. I hate to see couples who don't even seem to like each other much, especially couples in restaurants who don't speak and eat their food really fast.

I called me ex fatty because he was built like a twig (over 6ft and something ridiculous like 10 stone)

I call my current bf pet. He likes that because he's not from Ireland and he thinks it makes me sound exotic and Irish!

NextSteps · 12-12-2006 03:17PM

I've a friend who calls his girlfriend 'Princess'. Bleugh.

The Hill Billy · 12-12-2006 03:19PM

A mate of mine - Mr B - is a builder. He named his son "Jack Cyril" so he'd have the initials JCB. I've never heard him calling his son as anything other than "Digger".

Sleepy · 12-12-2006 03:41PM

Most common one I've had is girlfriends calling me by my surname when they're annoyed at me.

That or one ex who constantly called me 'Babe'...

snb · 12-12-2006 05:37PM

My absolute fave...................... Skittle !

Or the name with 'ie 'at the end

Pappa-eat-peach · 12-12-2006 10:39PM

Chicken is the most horrible pet name imaginable. Pet doesn't bother me as much, though-maybe because it isn't an animal's name.

I'd love to hear someone be called Rattlesnake or Red Panda or even Moose.

Saskia · 13-12-2006 01:00AM

An ex of mine used to call me "pillow-cheeks" cos he couldnt breathe when i sat on his face

I used to call him the "Hammer" cos of the size of his equipment. Its safe to say our reletionship was based on sex.

that's hilarious...not for the child obviously...!

I use 'pet' now & again & 'petal' & 'sweetheart' etc usually only to friends. I remember calling an ex chick once in a text, as in Goodnight chick, short for chicken. He was disgusted & actually waited til the following weekend to tell me never ever to call him chick, chicken or anything like it again. What a grump
