Worst Pet Names for Your Significant Other

What Not to Call Your Boyfriend, Girlfriend, Husband, or Wife

Jason Cooley
Here are the worst pet names to call your girlfriend or boyfriend and husband or wife. Stay clear of these names if you want a happy relationship. Odds are if you have the urge to call your boyfriend, husband, girlfriend or wife any of these names then things are not going well within your relationship. A general rule of thumb for a pet name is intent, so as long as you think of what you are calling that special person as a term of endearment you should be safe. On the other hand if what you have to say is based on anger or spite you will want to bite your tongue.

Daddy- This one is actually very popular and I find that very perplexing that a girlfriend or wife would actually want to call her boyfriend or husband "daddy". It can't just be me either. I mean come on, who would want to call her lover "daddy"? What boyfriend or husband would want to be called "daddy" by his girlfriend or wife while making love? For me, that's when the music stops. Anybody who digs the daddy pet name especially in the bedroom definitely has some issues and would probably make a great guest on Jerry Springer.

Little man- This one is a bad idea in any capacity. If you are taller than your male significant other there is no reason to draw more attention to this by calling him "little man". Now if your male significant other is taller than you but you still decide to call him "little man" then you must realize that whoever hears this will naturally assume something that is very unflattering for a man.

Super size- Women are sensitive to their weight so a good way to make your significant other turn on you with great anger is to call her "Super size".

Limpy- The men in the erectile dysfunction commercials may be smiling but it's not because they have ED and they sure as heck don't want you to advertise that they have this problem.

Grand Canyon- If you call your girl this you will get smacked. Plus she may hit you with "Don't blame me just because you can't feel it." This brings us to our next one...

Needle "Richard"- Turnabout is fair play so if you call your girl grand canyon she may call you needle "Richard".

I'm sure that I have shed a huge light on what pet names not to use on your girlfriend or boyfriend so you are now a better significant other just by reading this. I'm glad I could help and you're welcome.

I can't write this in the third person... I just can't. To do so would make me feel like a douche big enough to accommodate Madonna. My articles are a change of pace from what you can expect anywhere else. M...  View profile

    I agree here, Jason! Most of these are just awful...

    Haha, I've wondered a lot of times about the "Who's your daddy," thing. The ones after that only get worse, though.
