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 11 points 9 months ago (1 children)

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

The joke is the out-of-context quote, which is similar to advice a doctor would give their patient to avoid hemorrhoids. Let the poop come naturally, don't force it.

Wait isn't that the sequel to hardcore Henry?

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 14 points 9 months ago

You really call her "sarcastic" to her face?

[–] And009@lemmynsfw.com 2 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Yeah she's the bunny but I'm a monkey

[–] WhiskyTangoFoxtrot@lemmy.world 1 points 9 months ago (1 children)

For reasons unexplained, she loved the Monkey Man

... And his ridiculous yellow hat

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