I don’t if I’d name my pet that.

Useless as a word but excrutiating when used to berate the haughty, as in Shakespearean wit:
Lord Charming, thy name is Pipsqueak Scoundrel. Thy mother is Strumpet. Thy father is Monger. Thou art the spawn of loose bowels and flacid member.
How is the snow drifting? And mine?

Most of the free world uses the hypocorism “Bibi” for Benjamin Netanyahu, but Barack Obama calls him something else.

Cumberbatch's character in Imitation Game was not much for hypocorisms; Turing was on the Asperger spectrum and a homosexual to boot.

It is sunny and 52 here-the customer’s patio and gazebo are almost done-we will do finishing touches tomorrow. The customer loves it, but I think it is garish-it makes my teeth itch-but the customer is always right...

I wonder if Michelle Obama
Uses hypocorism when trying
To get OUR money from Idiot
For the stuff she’s buying?

Or maybe she just turns him
Upside down and gives a shake-
When his wallet is on the floor
She grabs all the cash, to take

A trip to a designer who says
She’s as pretty as she can be
And sells her a hideous dress
That’s too pricey for you and me...

Where I come from, being told you are as pretty as you can be is code for overweight, overdone and tasteless...
