Daddy Warbucks is good.

Okay. Bubby, Bubbs or Booba. Ja. Dann... Oh mein Gott! As she was leaving I stabbed her in the back. I told him I don't think he has bad intentions, but I can't say the same for his sister. That just made him more upset. Now he's being cold toward me. I know I didn't handle it perfectly, but I don't get why it's such a big deal.

Their insistence on keeping the nickname makes me feel like something bigger is going on. So Reddit, am I overreacting? Should I push this or do I need to drop it?

It's probably been a nickname that they've had since they were kids. So it's not something he thinks about. As an adult, he doesn't want new nicknames. But it's like, well, is it even a nickname? It's just kind of what you call me. I understand that. My mom has a nickname. Her brothers call her a nickname. But it's from when they were little kids. And it comes from...

before they could speak properly. Right, so it's just like habit at this point. And Bubby, Bubbs or Bubba, like almost sounds like she was trying to say brother as a little kid. She's like, Bubba, you know? And it just kind of stayed that way.

So weird.

So weird.

In regards to siblings, and this is a nickname that's been around a long time, this is very silly.

Das ist Rosh für mich. Die einzige Situation, in der ich denken kann, dass ein Nickname unangenehm ist, ist, wenn jemand ein Nickname für deinen Partner hatte und es sehr sexuell war.

Dann würde ich sagen, okay, ja, aber das ist eine sehr spezifische Situation. Ja. Das ist keine solche Situation. Wie Titty Ginny. Don't call my wife Titty Ginny. Don't call my husband Titty Ginny.

Call her Hat. Comments. You're the asshole. I live in the South. I can't throw a rock right now and not hit at least five Bubbas. The female version is Sissy. Every little kid down here calls their brother Bubba or Bubbs or their sister Sissy or Sis. It's literally the most common nickname in this region. If you yell it at Walmart, you'll get the attention of all the shoppers.

What's gross though is you thinking something more than sibling affection is going on here and you do need to work through that ASAP. Oh, and FYI, I have at least two cousins older than 55 that are still known as Bubba. OP responded, this genuinely helps a lot. I'm not from the US and an only child, so this is all new to me.
