Called my gf as 'Zabe' and she's trying to cut my head off

[–] Sabre363@sh.itjust.works 17 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Just call her Abe, that'll calm her down for sure.

[–] akatsukilevi@kbin.social 8 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Nard-Dog

[–] southsamurai@sh.itjust.works 8 points 1 year ago

I actually do. It started as Nardo, then the o got dropped because of the obvious fun of it.

Christopher could've been "stop her"

[–] Christopher@lemm.ee 19 points 1 year ago (4 children)

Three decades I've had this name and only now am I noticing that.

[–] WarmSoda@lemm.ee 10 points 1 year ago (1 children)

You could also top her.

[–] SwampYankee@mander.xyz 14 points 1 year ago

Chris, top her.

[–] pomodoro_longbreak@sh.itjust.works 5 points 1 year ago

I wish I had a cool name that had words in it.

[–] UndefinedIsNotAFunction@programming.dev 4 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Sorry it took you so long. To be fair though, I forgot about it entirely and I also have been using this name for a very long time.

Oh god I'd be afraid to call her that in public lol. Sounds way too much like whiffer which would be very rude

[–] threeduck@aussie.zone 28 points 1 year ago

I call my friend Tim, "Moth"

He doesn't like it

[–] mustardman@discuss.tchncs.de 28 points 1 year ago

Finally the first good DLC for names. The last update turning Leonardo into just Leo really broke the immersion.

[–] JeSuisUnHombre@lemm.ee 18 points 1 year ago

I really wish I knew a Brooklyn because I really want to use Ookly

[–] ron@programming.dev 17 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Actually there is a big politician in our country called Elizabeth, from our village, old ladies who saw her young call her 'Zaabe'. The other 'a' is just for our local pronunciation.

Also my grandma was referred to as Zabeth

[–] EmpiricalFlock@beehaw.org 12 points 1 year ago

I actually worked with a Leonard who preferred "Nard"

[–] bill_1992@lemmy.world 12 points 1 year ago (1 children)
