Navigating Responses to Being Called 'Bae' or 'Poop in Danish'
Did someone call you 'bae' or 'poop in Danish'? Here's how to respond authentically based on your feelings and comfort level.
Understanding the Terms
When a partner or friend calls you Bae, it can mean before anyone else or be a playful term indicating a close, affectionate relationship. However, it can also vary based on the cultural context of the speaker. On the other hand, poop in Danish is a direct translation of a Danish word which literally means feces. This phrase can be perceived as offensive and requires sensitive handling.
Responses If You Like Being Called 'Bae'
If you feel flattered and fond of the term, you might respond playfully or affectionately:
Hey, that’s a cute term! How about you call me Bae too?
Aww, I love it! You must really like me!
Responses If You Are Unsure
If you are unsure about the term, it’s a good idea to clarify or express your feelings:
It’s a cute term, but can you explain what it means in our relationship?
I like the thought behind it, but can you tell me more? I want to understand our relationship better.
Responses If You Don’t Like Being Called 'Bae' or 'Poop in Danish'
If the term makes you uncomfortable, you can be direct but gentle:
No, thank you. I’d prefer not to be called that. Can we come up with a different term that makes us both comfortable?
I appreciate your affection, but could you try a different term? It makes me feel uncomfortable.
Handling the Danish Slang 'Poop in Danish'
If you are called poop in Danish, consider the following:
Knep dig selv means go fuck yourself, a very direct and harsh response. If you need to warn someone directly, use this but ensure your tone matches the message.
Ask them to stop using the term. Be clear and firm: “Stop calling me that. It’s offensive.”
Tell them to look up the word. This might make them realize the term's true meaning and reconsider using it: “Did you know it means defecation in Danish? It’d be best to find a different term.”
Conclusion
The choice of response largely depends on your feelings towards the term and your relationship with the person. Whether you're welcoming the term or finding it offensive, it's crucial to communicate your feelings clearly and respectfully. Building a healthy relationship means addressing such issues directly to maintain mutual understanding and respect.
