I love how she uses "little bird" as example for how great her nicknames are

[–] spongebue@lemmy.world 53 points 9 months ago (2 children)

I call my wife that occasionally, but only when I ask what the word is ("what's the word, little bird?")

[–] Aviandelight@mander.xyz 35 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Does she respond "how now brown cow?"

I'm thinking more like: "I want a divorce, charley horse."

That was the nickname they used for Tevye’s daughter Chavala in Fiddler on the Roof.

Tony Pizza? I haven't watched that movie in a while, but I feel like I'd remember Tony Pizza being serenaded by the tailor to "Wonder of Wonders."

If I ever refer to anyone as little bird it'll include miniguns.

Do people really put that much thought into pet names? I've always thought it should be something that comes about organically, not something forced.

Ok, but my pet name for you is now Hemorrhoids Henry

[–] GreyEyedGhost@lemmy.ca 15 points 9 months ago (1 children)

See, organic would have been calling MinorLaceration The Black Knight. "'Tis but a scratch."

Well my significant other is not creative at all, and started calling me poop-y, which i dislike (there are so many words, why pick a term for excrement), In that case, I had to speak my mind and explain that I did not like that pet name. Sometimes, nature needs a little help

My pet name for my wife is sarcastic. Same back.

We tried the normal ones; no good.

[–] cosmicrookie@lemmy.world 20 points 9 months ago

You really call her "sarcastic" to her face?

[–] chetradley@lemmy.world 8 points 9 months ago

One day my wife said "see you later, alligator" and I reflexively replied "bye gator" and she's been gator ever since.

I would love if my spouse had a weird-ass nickname for me like that.

[–] themeatbridge@lemmy.world 60 points 9 months ago (3 children)

My wife has thousands of cute nicknames for our dogs. She calls me by my first name.

[–] Jubei_K_08@lemmy.world 47 points 9 months ago (3 children)

I bet you're in her phone with your last name, too.

[–] thesporkeffect@lemmy.world 21 points 9 months ago

This comment could start a war, jeez

[–] Guy_Fieris_Hair@lemmy.world 14 points 9 months ago

I'm "Asshole" in my wife's phone. I discovered this years after she had it that when she used Google assistant to call my phone when I was looking for it. "OK Google, call my husband " "OK, calling Asshole"

[–] corsicanguppy@lemmy.ca 7 points 9 months ago

Oh, that's subtle.

This is one of my favorite internet stories.

Sometimes it's exactly what you want, though.
