Why Do We Use Cringey Words for Loved Ones? | Otherwords
Переглядів 115,500
День томуFrom "kitty" to "lovebug," people across the world use very similar type of words for the people they love. What's behind this universal linguistic trend?
Otherwords is a PBS web series on Storied that digs deep into this quintessential human trait of language and finds the fascinating, thought-provoking, and funny stories behind the words and sounds we take for granted. Incorporating the fields of biology, history, cultural studies, literature, and more, linguistics has something for everyone and offers a unique perspective on what it means to be human.

When my son was a toddler, I used to call him my “Tiny Baby”. This shifted to “Tiny Baby Man” as he got a little older. One day, when he was about 10, he told me “That’s MISTER Tiny Baby Man to you.” So now he’s Mr Tinybabyman.

The nickname stuck around for years whenever we'd run into each other even after I recovered enough to leave my "throne" behind. People couldn't figure out if it was favoritism or a sarcastic diss.

I absolutely loved the production on this one! Having Erica on sets and out in the world, rather than just against a green screen, brings a lot of dynamism to the video that really elevates it. It comes across with a lot of playfulness (not just because of the kitties!) due to the varying backdrops and the wardrobe changes. I super loved what was done here and want to give a hearty thanks and congrats on all the hard work everyone put in to make this happen! I'm sure this kind of thing can't happen with every video, but I still wanted to share how awesome I thought it was and I would definitely be excited to see it happen more in the future!

@bbartky as someone who was told by my mom "after Mike (the oldest), you were all surprises", I can promise you that being called "surprise" doesn't necessarily make it any better than being called an "accident". There were two or three years between each of my four siblings and 5 years between the next youngest sibling and myself. I never felt any less loved for it, even though I knew who the real "surprise" had been. Remember Bob Ross- "happy little accidents".

Oh! You're in Austin!! Hello! This was a super interesting episode. I've wondered about nicknames and how they came about. Some interesting Classical facts: a few Greek names that we still use today fall into this category, like Philip, "love", and Melissa, "honey". And a lot of famous Romans are known to us today by their nicknames, because it was REALLY common for names to be repeated in families, so many of them differentiated themselves by their nicknames. For example, Cicero, which means "chickpea" - supposedly his mother called him that and it stuck! Caligula means "little boots," because he would visit his father in the army and parade around in a little soldier's outfit. "Cincinnatus" means "curly haired", "Rufus" means "redhead", "Aquila" means "beak-like nose", "Africanus" is the one who led a successful campaign in North Africa...

So I still do that, towards my husband; there are maybe half a dozen "words" that are just for him. And there are others for my cat, my kid, my brother - not all of them consistent, ha! I've even seen a thing between my brother and his first cousin where words weren't even involved - they were "talking" using percussion against their own bodies, claps and thumping their bellies and such.

Early on, this video brought a certain song by THE ARCHIES to my mind - when you were talking about people using terms for sweets to refer to people they care about. Later on, when you talked about people using terms for money to refer to their loved ones, I was thinking about the 1990s X-Men cartoon where Gambit frequently uses the term “Chéri” -- “chér” meaning “expensive” and “-i” being the suffix of posessiveness - basically meaning “my expensive”. I guess that being the French equivalent of “my dear”.

I never knew you were half Taiwanese! It would be interesting to see you make content related to that.

As a Thai speaker, I am not sure about Chang Noi (little elephant) haha. It is actually a slang for penn*s. Double name is also a thing in Thai language.

As someone who lives in Austin and is learning Mandarin I thoroughly enjoyed spotting all the Austin landmarks and reading the 汉字 that popped up.

I would love to hear you look into the history of diminutives in Australia at some point because over here they're so much more common than a simple term of affection. The -o suffix I also understand was something more common over here which has more recently spread to the rest of the world, eg "arvo" for "afternoon" is a very common Aussie-ism that's been around for longer than my own lifetime! Pretty much any common noun that's more than 2 syllables long _will_ be shortened to 2 syllables with either -ie, -o, or -a tacked onto the end!
