Have you ever had a nickname/pet name for someone that they didn't understand and/or got upset at? I have. A few years ago, I started calling my little sister "Brat" and she absolutely hated it. She thought I was calling her that name in a bad, insulting way when really, it was a just a term of affection for her. It took about 6 months or so, but finally, she realized that when I called her Brat, I wasn't being mean. She now just takes it like a normal nickname. So, have you ever had a nickname for someone that they didn't get and/or got upset at? Did that ever happen with a nickname that someone had for you?

Yes I hae a nickname I started calling my cousin lately it is Birt she hates it. And when I was little my dad called me Heavy because I had a lot of problems with my health. Then I got healthy and started to gain weight so he started calling me that and he is still doing it and I hate it.

i like giving nicknames but i cant remember anything that made someone upset. with my previous work i used to call someone "babsie" which for me means, a cute pig, because he was so tall and chubby. ^__^;; he took it nicely but he gave me a nickname too which is "babskie", which for him was the female version of "babsie". but im not fat mind you. LOL
i do however, call names some people which i dont like. ^__^;; if they learned about those nicknames, they will definitely get upset! LOL

we have a friend we call him ogre but he doesnt know it before now he knows it he doesnt care for he has called as a lot of names and funny names that we always laugh at.
we call also someone Wise, because her eyes are big and bulgy but she doesnt know it. we call also our guitarist "kuhol" (its a kind of snail) for he is a slow foot really.
