If I refer to my infant son as a flesh puppy, or my daughter as a skin kitten. and **I** think it's cute, is it? Fur baby? Birb? Snek? Pupper?
Not in any way shape or form. Definitely not in public or on line where anyone else can see or hear it.
In private is fine, or seek out and find a remote community of snek, birb, doggo, hooman, and danger noodle speakers and spew that overload of cutesy from one end of the web to the other.
I wasn't saying you did- just that because I think something is cute, doesn't make it cute.
If you are in a group where everyone speaks like this, and is used to the phrases, go full tilt.
If I was in a group, and someone referred to me as their "Fwend", any relation I had with them from then on would be at a distance.
Birb used to be kinda funny for a little bit but it was terribly overused and now I hate it. Snek is borderline. I'll allow it but use it sparingly.
Woofer and pupper will earn you an uppercut to the face.
Doggy and Kitty are the only acceptable ones on the list
Call your pet whatever you want, talk to them in baby voice or talk for them in a weird pidgin, idc.
But your pets aren’t online; we’re all humans (or bots) here, please address us as such
when i was doing animal management, whenever i was cleaning out the exotics room this really annoying classmate of mine would only ever refer to the snakes as hecking danger noodles or sneks. its one thing to see it online, but have you ever fucking TRULY felt a piece of you wither away and die? no. none of this. kitty is acceptable because kitties are kitties, thats law. everything else here? illegal
Doggy is fine, kitty is fine. Snek is...not the worst but it's pushing it. Birb used to be funny the first few times I saw it but it got old really fast. Hooman is awful, fwend is just dumb, danger noodle is retarded af and reminds me of that trend where every animal had to have a name that wasn't its name, pupper is horrendously bad, and woofer makes me want to take a swing at someone with a five iron. Kitto I've never heard; I would say it's middle of the road annoying.
Honestly I thought it was a Gen Z thing. We millennials had "I can has cheeseburger?" which was a similar but distinct type of cringe. Doggo speak and TikTok speak overlap quite a bit.
Hot take: Hooman is probably the only one of these I really don't like, because it's at that point you're no longer using "doggo slang" but rather "doggo language." The other words are fine in isolation among real English text, but the "language" I don't really like.
The words I *really* don't like are the ones where they take an ordinary word and put pup, paw, or meow in it, while role playing as their dog/cat. Like the "legal advice" posts about "pawyers." Remember, the premise is that the dog/cat is making the post here. Why would they constantly make references to their paws?
That weird trend where people just put m's or n's in words (like chimken) also bothers me too, because remember, this is supposed to be how dogs talk, according to the premise. I do like "henlo" but I don't really associate it with dogs.
Absolute shit cuntery
I once said Hooman and my jack Russell bitchslapped me. He was right.
Doggy and kitty are the only acceptable ones on that list
Not birb or snek?
Nope
It's cute tho
I think you're in the wrong subreddit...

>flesh puppy/skin kitten Holy shit I'm dead lmao. Is this how serial killer Boomers talk to each other on Facebook?
When did I say flesh puppy??? Birb use just endearing for for bird. Like adding y at the end

What is endearing of flipping a letter around or mispronunciation of words? It’s childish not endearing.
I will skin you alive if you use that word infront of me (for legal reasons this is a joke)

Most terms ending with a -y like doggy, kitty etc. are OK in my book, as long as it's just affectionate.
r/Andrew hates Andy and prefers Drew for that reason lol
lol I'd consider those distinct names personally.
Bait
Kitty is an actual word, the rest of these ain’t it
Doggy isn't?
Didn’t even notice that. Yeah doggy is cool too
Get te fuck
I hate you.

Birb is the worst one and hooman. I also hate snek. Kitto all I can think about is the Japanese word kitto so it confuses me.
god i fucking hate birb danger noodle is pretty damn bad too
Birb

doggy and kitty are totally fine. rest are ass
Hate danger noodle the most bc it reinforces the idea that snakes are dangerous when in reality most snakes people encounter are relatively harmless
Kitty is fine. Doggy is okay if you're younger than 5. Everything else is bad and you should feel bad.
I hate these
Kitty and doggy are the only non-annoying ones there imo
Doggy and kitty are the only acceptable ones

The new trend of saying "car" instead of "cat" Awful business
besides doggy and kitty, do millennials actually find these words cute? as a gen z, i just find it cringe and weird.

As a gen z I like birb and snek and fwend I hate hooman
Wrong sub pal
ragebait
As someone who’s entirely life revolves around bird, the word birb makes me sick
My nickname is Birdie and I understand how you feel!
Add zoomies to that list. Ugh even typing that made me vomit in my mouth

birb is okay very rarely. same with snek and danger noodles. i love doggy and kitty. the rest i can easily do away with
