Reply #4: Of course, the man gives demeaning nicknames to his

[put out]

partners and "friends". Taken from Morey Amsterdam's absent, flakey, avaricious wife in the "Dick Van Dyke Show." Mean and stupid, but crafty. Just what I want in a leader.

I would prefer my S.O. to come up with an affectionate nickname. How about "sugar" or "love" or "sweetpea", or just my real name.

Not anything like "Pickles". Might as well be "Pretty Sour Puss", or "Scratchy Ass", or "Droopy Boobs", or "Jewelry Hound", or "Lump Mate", or "Reading Girl", and thus my conclusion: he is a jerk. Furthermore, he needs to put people down in order to feel superior. If my mate called me "Pickles", I would exact terrible revenge.

edit: First paragraph, I meant that * is stupid and crafty. On the other hand, he is also mean and avaricious. Pickles on the show was absent, and just pretty dim. Maybe it all applies.
