Just saw a TikTok complaining about ‘kitten’ as a pet name in fanfiction and while I do agree with their discomfort on that one the comments were FULL of people mentioning all the other common pet names ?? Like honey babe baby sweetheart etc ?? Is your partner just supposed to call you by your name the whole time ????????
God SORRY to drag this out bc I’m not doing this to like screenshot and expose people for having opinions I don’t like BUT I rounded up the wildest ones I found and blurred the names so no one can be mean to them for it I hope that’s okay 😭
Yeah a very common and go-to pet name is actually just one big joke. Everyone was tricking you the whole time!! Pranked <3
I can’t imagine the horrors that this would entail… I don’t wanna hear my name unless you’re reading off a legal document
“TW: British People”
Lettuce gives me such a big ick in salad I swear 😭
WHAT DO U WANT TO BE CALLED 😭 PLEASE YOU HAVE TO GIVE US SOME OPTIONS 😭
the kids are not alright, petnames are fucking normal you little freaks
Someone warn these kids away from the Southern US, please. Especially our diners. They’d implode in five minutes.
Hahaha
…since I can’t find any endearments that don’t compare my partner to a child, a family member, an animal, a food I’m gonna eat, or an object of value that I own, I’ve decided to just call everyone insults instead
the connotations aren’t any nicer but at least they’re honest
(obligatory disclaimer: this is a joke. The actual reason I use insults instead of endearments is it’s funny. Have a great day, assholes <3)
@astercontrol I believe I’ve been told that’s how the Australians do it.
I love almost everything I have ever heard about how Australians talk
