    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.

      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

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