Insult of Endearment	comment	To show how well two people don't get along, one or both gives the other an insulting nickname and refuses to call them anything else. Over time, the nickname loses its bite as the characters learn to respect, if not like, each other. Then the formerly insulting nickname becomes more of a term of endearment. This trope is a good way to show Character Development. As two people who initially disliked each other grow closer, the use of a formerly insulting nickname as a gesture of affection is a good way to showcase their evolving relationship. The Vitriolic Best Buds may see insulting nicknames as part of their snarky banter rather than something genuinely meant to hurt, and couples who use insulting nicknames as part of their Belligerent Sexual Tension may soften the use over time to show that They Really Do Love Each Other. This is more likely when one of them is a Tsundere or a Loving Bully. It also may be part of Romantic Ribbing. This is relatively common in Real Life, especially amongst boys and men (often developed in the manner stated above). Not to be confused with Insult Backfire, when an insult is taken as a compliment, or Appropriated Appellation, when the person cleverly uses the insulting name to his/her own advantage. In order for it to be this trope, the original nicknamer has to change from using the name as a deliberate insult to using it as a term of endearment, or at least friendly ribbing. Contrast Terms of Endangerment, where a villain addresses a hero by an affectionate name but there's nothing behind it but hatred; in some cases, both may be used for irony and contrast. Also see Affectionate Nickname. May also overlap with N-Word Privileges, when a group of friends use a word for each other that would be a horrible slur coming from anybody else. Beware the Logical Latecomer or anybody who Does Not Understand Sarcasm, who at the very least will need an explanation or at most will call the police (especially if it's an N-Word Privileges insult). Because this trope typically accompanies Character Development, there may be unmarked spoilers present.

As in Sonic Adventure 2, Sonic took to aggressively calling Shadow a "faker" in their initial encounters. In later issues, after becoming full-blown allies, Sonic continued to use the word occasionally as an affectionate nickname.

Since they are hiding their relationship, she uses it as an insult in public and as an endearing pet name in private. Rei started off calling Kaworu "Rainbow Trout" or "stupid fish" due to how alien he looked in her Aura Vision. It eventually becomes affectionate once she admits that she actually wants to be friends with him (she had previously avoided doing so since she knew that she'd eventually have to kill him). She even lampshades it when it makes the change from being an insult to a nickname. It's also the first thing she says to him when she regains her memories of their relationship.

This grates on St. John's nerves (like Taurus wanted), but after they complete their first mission together and become true wingmates, he keeps using the term and St. John doesn't mind it. It becomes so common between the two of them that Dravis realizes St. John has survived in the third book because someone overheard Taurus address him that way.

Abernathy counters by calling Hodgins "Thurston." By the end of the episode they've gained respect for each other, but still use the same nicknames. As of "The Maiden in the Mushrooms", they're going into business together selling "Opie and Thurston's Hot Sauce" (originally Finn's late grandmother's recipe, chemically recreated by Hodgins after he used the last of Finn's last bottle not knowing it was irreplaceable.) Played With by Booth and Bones herself. Booth originally used the name as a term of endearment and respect for Brennan but after their first falling out he continued to call her it out of a desire to annoy her and always got a "Don't call me Bones!" in response. Later on, she came to like the nickname again and he became the only person allowed to call her that.

He continues with this annoying nickname throughout the entire series, only calling Allen by his real name once. By now, though, Kanda is actually quite protective of Allen, due to owing him a debt (and wanting to kill him when he turns into Neah), so this has led to some interesting lines such as "If your mission is to assassinate Beansprout, I'll cut you down where you stand."

It's claimed in the Official Databook that Sasuke has began using it as a "pet name" or "in an affectionate way". He stops saying it altogether after the time skip until he agrees to come back to the village at the end of his last duel with Naruto, to show that things are going to get back to normal.

Insult of Endearment / int_44fe781e	comment	Present in nearly every Neon Genesis Evangelion fanfic that ships Shinji and Asuka together. Here are a few examples: Advice and Trust: Before getting together Asuka called Shinji "idiot". After getting together she calls him "her idiot". Since they are hiding their relationship, she uses it as an insult in public and as an endearing pet name in private. Rei started off calling Kaworu "Rainbow Trout" or "stupid fish" due to how alien he looked in her Aura Vision. It eventually becomes affectionate once she admits that she actually wants to be friends with him (she had previously avoided doing so since she knew that she'd eventually have to kill him). She even lampshades it when it makes the change from being an insult to a nickname. It's also the first thing she says to him when she regains her memories of their relationship. A Crown of Stars: After opening up to each other Asuka starts to call Shinji â€œbakaâ€� in a loving way. Variant when she tells him â€“because she is not ready yet to say openly she loves him- she â€œhatesâ€� in a deeply fond, affectionate tone so that Shinji knows that she means the opposite. Played straight but also deconstructed. Rei doesn't fully get emotions yet. So that she takes what Asuka tells at face value and refuses to help them to fight because she thinks that Asuka hates him. Evangelion 303: At the beginning of their relationship, Asuka called Shinji "idiot" or "dummy" with scorn. After a while and several Relationship Upgrades she called him "dummy" lovingly. The Child of Love: Asuka called Shinji baka (idiot) constantly. At some point â€œidiotâ€� ceased to be an insult and became a pet name: In the epilogue chapter: And in chapter 6: Ghosts of Evangelion: Asuka calls Shinji idiot or pervert constantly but she calls him names in a loving, tender way after a while. At one point she slips she thinks that he is an idiot because he loves her and because he is always blaming himself for everything. HERZ: After five years married (and knowing each other since they were thirteen), when Asuka calls Shinji "baka" it is not really an insult but a pet name. Higher Learning: In chapter 5 an inebriated Asuka declares Shinji is HER baka (idiot). From that point she calls him his "sweet idiot", her "little dummy Shinji" and the like. Scar Tissue: Reinforced. Before Third Impact Asuka used to call Shinji "idiot", sometimes with scorn and anger, but other times playfully. After Third Impact she was so traumatized and unstable that she become very abusive for months, during which she stopped calling Shinji "idiot" and used harsher, crueller insults to hurt him. One day her abuse went too far forcing her to face her awful behaviour and seek atonement for her actions, and simultaneously she started to call him "dummy" again, this time with fondness. The Second Try: Even after they've fallen for each other and got married, Asuka still calls Shinji "baka" often enough that the term has almost become a pet name. To the point that when their daughter Aki says her first words, it's the second thing she utters after "Mama" (to Shinji's dismay and Asuka's amusement). It's also the only thing she can come up with when asked for her father's name by a police officer. Same thing with "hentai", especially when Asuka herself feels aroused.

Insult of Endearment / int_45a5656f	comment	Briefly brought up in the BattleTech Expanded Universe novel Hearts of Chaos where Cowboy Payson's circle of friends has changed due to the deaths of some of his buddies in the previous novel Close Quarters. The new circle isn't as close-knit as the old, and Cowboy is briefly upset when an acquaintance who isn't in his closest ring of friends tries to call him putonote Spanish insult, a slur roughly meaning "man whore" as a term of endearment. Contrast Cowboy's relationship with his oldest friend Buck Evans, who calls Cowboy everything under the sun (some of it printable, most of it not) which Cowboy generally agrees with.

Despite that the names started out as deliberate insults, and that the trio frequently banter, the two are probably the members of the group Hak is closest to—besides, of course, childhood friend and love-interest Yona. Hak comments on this at one point when he, Yun, and Yona are searching for Kija and Jaeha. He asks if Yun has any insults to call Kija, because Kija is the sort of person who will come running if he hears someone insulting him, but he's stopped reacting "White Snake" and now he just answers to it normally. Yun then asks him if he's going to try insulting Jaeha, but Hak says Jaeha will just take it as praise. Kija also has one for Hak, having called him the "Dark Dragon" when Hak jokingly claimed to be the Yellow Dragon. At the time, Hak thought the name sounded pretty cool, and later he starts actively introducing himself as such.

Go back to Party Citynote An American chain of party supply stores that sells cheap Halloween costumes in October, a dig at Sharon's Perky Goth aesthetic where you belong!" Since then, "Party City" and "Busted-Ass Showgirl" became the queens' "pet names" for each other. Sharon and Phi Phi actually made amends halfway through the season, but kept up the rivalry for the cameras because they knew it'd make for good television, making the nicknames something of a Running Gag between the two of them.

As the series progresses, what began as an insult starts to become more of a nickname, and finally a term of affection, as seen at the end of "Nightmares And Daydreams" ("You're the man, Twinkle Toes"). As seen in The Legend of Korra Toph still called Aang "Twinkle-toes", even when they were both adults. While it's definitely meant as endearing, Aang, as a grown man (and Physical God) finds it annoying. To be fair, Toph is probably fully aware of this. She even continues to use the name for Korra, as she is technically Aang's reincarnation. "Nice to see you again, Twinkle Toes." The aye-aye spirit, after warming up to Wan after he saves Mula, calls him "Stinky", thinking it's a better one than his real name. Whenever we hear him call Wan "Stinky" after that, he sounds sincere.

Percy calls her "Wise Girl" in return, after her mother's status as Goddess of Wisdom and (what he see as) her tendency to be a know-it-all. Both start out as insults, but lose a lot of the sting after the fourth or fifth time they save each other's lives plus eventually admitting romantic feelings towards each other. The Insult of Endearment status is obvious to everyone by the end of The Last Olympian.

Insult of Endearment / int_9d47a2a2	comment	Early in the first book of A Song of Ice and Fire, Jon is given the nickname "Lord Snow" by Alliser Thorne at Castle Black to mock him as an illegitimate son with a young lord's upbringing ("Snow" is the surname given to highborn illegitimate children in the North and as illegitimate children with noble blood, they cannot inherit). However, as Jon makes a lot of friends with those around him, he is addressed as "Lord Snow" as a form of respect — although Thorne still means it as an insult. Eventually, the nickname becomes a legitimate title when Jon is elected Lord Commander of the Night's Watch. In the third book Jaime Lannister and Brienne of Tarth call one another "wench" and "kingslayer," respectively. In the former case, it's a cruel reminder that Brienne is a conventionally unattractive woman in a hypermasculine society, while in the latter it's a reminder of Jaime's lack of honor. As they gradually have a positive effect on one another - she inspires Jaime to reclaim his lost sense of honor, while he encourages Brienne to become less morally rigid - and start falling for one another, "wench" and "kinslayer" become akin to pet names.

Soon after, she joins the Straw Hats temporarily and becomes their Honorary True Companion, but throughout her time with them—and even when she addresses all of the other crew members by their names—she continues to refer to Zoro as "Mister Bushido" as an Affectionate Nickname. Sanji refers to Zoro as "marimo" (or, in the English version, "moss-head") even after they make the transition from Sitcom Arch-Nemeses to Vitriolic Best Buds, and even in the most emotional of situations. ("Aww, is Marimo-kun worried about me?") Zoro has apparently become attached enough to it to, on at least one occasion, correct people when they use the wrong plant-based insult.

In the course of the book, several of the other brothers have their fraternity names explained as well.

She doesn't like doctors, and at first, doesn't particular like Quillon either, so she insists on always calling him "Cutter", much to Quillon's chagrin. However, as the novel progresses, Meroka begins to warm to Quillon. She still calls him Cutter though. Amusingly, even other characters begin calling him Cutter, as they mistake that for his real name due to Meroka's continued use of it.

Significantly, this is in sharp contrast to his previous incarnation, who genuinely disliked Mickey and insulted him sincerely, but after regenerating his attitude became far less mean-spirited, going from open contempt to good-natured teasing. During the 7th Doctor's run, rebellious teenager companion Ace called the Doctor "Professor" to annoy him as part of her anti-authority streak. It later turned into an affectionate nickname between them. Amy Pond lives and breathes this trope, calling the two people she loves most in the world (Rory and the Doctor) "stupid face" or "moron" on the regular.

Right after his first defeat in a mock swordfight with former King Edmund, Peter's younger brother throws the somewhat derisive term back Trumpkin's face with "Not hurt, I hope, my dear little friend?" His brother and sisters Susan and Lucy swiftly pick up on this, continuously calling the dwarf "Dear Little Friend" or "DLF" for short throughout their adventures (to the point where they almost forget what "DLF" stands for), to good-naturedly tease their newfound, steadfast friend.

Variant when she tells him â€“because she is not ready yet to say openly she loves him- she â€œhatesâ€� in a deeply fond, affectionate tone so that Shinji knows that she means the opposite. Played straight but also deconstructed. Rei doesn't fully get emotions yet. So that she takes what Asuka tells at face value and refuses to help them to fight because she thinks that Asuka hates him.

Insult of Endearment / int_f9cb2c07	comment	The Second Try: Even after they've fallen for each other and got married, Asuka still calls Shinji "baka" often enough that the term has almost become a pet name. To the point that when their daughter Aki says her first words, it's the second thing she utters after "Mama" (to Shinji's dismay and Asuka's amusement). It's also the only thing she can come up with when asked for her father's name by a police officer. Same thing with "hentai", especially when Asuka herself feels aroused.

Insult of Endearment / int_fa738078	comment	Sailor Moon: Mamoru creates the insulting nickname "Dumpling Head" (Odango Atama in Japanese), "Meatball Head" in the DiC English dub of the original anime, "Pigtails" in the Mixx/Tokyopop manga release, and "Bun-head" in the Kodansha retranslation and Viz subs for Usagi, but it becomes a term of endearment after they fall in love. Haruka also uses this nickname when talking to Usagi, albeit affectionately, so Usagi takes no offense. Seiya even uses the same term, and Usagi's only issue is how "he" is hitting on her.

Insult of Endearment / int_ffb43795	comment	Cobra Kai: Mitch is called "Assface" in Season 2 and eventually "Penis Breath" in Season 3, even stating that only his friends can call him those names. His friend Chris points out why he even tolerates the nickname in the first place. This is deconstructed as Mitch reveals he hated the name and being constantly called Penis Breath does not exactly make people loyal to you, regardless of it being an insult of endearment or not. This reveal happens in the Season 5 finale where he betrays the Miyagi-Fangs to rejoin Cobra Kai. A straighter example of this trope is that Yasmine still considers Demetri a nerd, even when they become an official couple. The way she says it is clearly meant in an endearing way.
