I hate petnames. Hate hate hate them. From everyone, but especially from strangers. They are condescending and full of false intimacy. People who know me know better than to use them with me.

What do you mean by "petnames"? To me, a pet name is an affectionate name that is given you by someone who knows you well. Like my friends calling me K-dogg.

Do you mean things like "hon" and "sweetie" from strangers? That has always seemed deeply inappropriate to me because they are intimate terms of address.

I think she means giving names to pets.  It's anthropomorphizing them and robbing them of their individual and species wide qualities.

If you have a dog, you should just call it Dog.  If you have another Dog, refer to it as Dog #2

Missed that scene.

Who the fuck is robert paulson?

If it makes you feel any better, Twid, I have no idea either, and it irritates me when people act like you're clueless because you happened to miss sitting in front of the idiot tube for something they consider a crucially important part of their cultural background.

The Meatloaf character in Fight Club.

Nephew Twiddleton

Oh. Yeah. Ive never seen fight club. Yeah i know. Whatever.

Thanks lmno for answering the question.

I also dont really care about thing the internet has decided are important things to be interested in.

For example i dont see myself watching fight club or v for vendetta anytime in the near future and anytime someone mentions zombies i get a little irritated.

'Fight Club' is pretty cool as a movie and was one of those rare 'didn't ruin the book' moments. Haven't seen V for Vendetta' and, I agree, the whole 'Zombie apocalypse LOL' thing is played out.

"K-Dogg" I would classify as a nickname, which are different than a pet name and are things I like. Pet names would be, yeah, "hon" and "sweetheart" and the like, which I don't like from ANYONE.

I like 'em, when it's my wife saying them.  She is the one person that doesn't annoy me by shortening my name.

Or, hell, my daughter (Baldy, Old Man, etc)

V for Vendetta, the movie, is imo kind of juvenile and disaffected-teenager. But the comic is very, very good.

I don't really have a nickname I can think of, aside from the mangling of the name I usually go by that a friend uses to annoy me. My name is too short to really lend itself to nicknames.

They neutered the fuck out of V.  It turns from a rather more complex story of revolutionary-terroristic anarchism versus technocratic fascism to "LOL BUSH IS A NAZI".  And then V is a liberal chatshow host.  With knives.

To Jenn, I'm "Rog" or "Honey" or "DUMBFUCK".

To me, Jenn is "Baby"1, "Honey", or "TAKE YOUR CLOTHES OFF, PLEASE".

If she's cool with it, I don't think it matters.
