What word is used when someone calls you names?

we all have pet names and we used to call by the pet names.

In my elementary years, if someone was not liked we said they had cooties. I "had cooties" in sixth grade because I was a studious nerd and not popular. I didn't care much because I was not interested in all the fashion and popular music, so I just carried on. I think people were jealous of my good grades too.

None of my friends ever called me names even when I was a kid. It was my siblings who did. And that would normally start a fight when we were very young. But not anymore.

Nobody dared to call me names..they were sure to be afraid of me.

That happened a lot during my primary school years, but mostly to boys. I never get called names, fortunately.

my son's friends called him vulgar word names and they curse, swear each other's parents with the vulgar words. What do you expect from boys fights?

I can still remember, I am called "lizarda" , a komiks character before. That's because, I am so thin. I feel so angry when some not so nice classmates calls me that. But I just ignore them. So when they saw me now, they were so surprised.

When I was a kid when some body calls me by a name with malicious or insulting intent I settle it right away either in the football field, at the back of the gym or even inside the restroom. They won't stop until you fight them and after you shake hands, nobody would dare call you a name again, so it stays that way, I am simply called by my name even here in our subdivision. It's different if it's complimentary or cute especially if it's a girl who is doing it

I just ignore it. I fight back if it is below the belt.

kutta, kamina, hrarmzada b***C*** etc. but now we can describe others as Chutiya / Sutiya

Kids will always kids, and yes calling names is part of childhood and fighting. Such a great moment

Yes I do, name calling, is I think part of growing up. I've been called skeleton before since I was too skinny when I was a kid, so I often retaliate and called them on whatever their flaws as well. Still thin now, but they stop calling me that when I get to high school. I guess we mature a little. ;)
