Talk:kiddo

Child
The definition here does not match what I'm used to. The usage I'm familiar with would define "kiddo" as an informal or affectionate term for a child, not for a pal.--69.169.138.141 04:56, 30 April 2013 (UTC)


 * I've heard both. Not sure how to adjust the definition, though. Chuck Entz (talk) 14:20, 30 April 2013 (UTC)

Rfv-sense "(fandom slang) A fictional teen character from non-live-action visual media (typically an anime, manga, or video game) to whom one is attracted and/or considers their significant other." Good luck searching for this without ending up on some kind of list. &mdash; S URJECTION / T / C / L / 07:39, 5 April 2022 (UTC)
 * It's got the exact same definition that we currently list for waifu except for the one crucial word "teen". I've never heard this, but if it exists, I assume it was coined by the same method as waifu ...  take the English word, respell it in Japanese, and then respell the Japanese in English again.  We might be able to find it by  searching for キッド  ("kid" spelled in Japanese katakana) plus some other words such as the titles of the manga series being talked about.   Alternatively, we could just search in English, but I wouldnt know what else to add to the search string. — Soap — 19:52, 5 April 2022 (UTC)
 * It seems like it would be difficult, although not impossible, for a citation to clearly mean this and not the more common meaning, "(endearing) A child". Like, one idea would be to search for "(possessive pronoun: my|your|his|her|etc) kiddo" in works that also use "waifu" or "husbando", but even there it'd take some effort to weed out cases where someone is just saying they want such-and-such fictional kid to be their kid, or think of some fictional kid as (spiritually, etc) their kid (when the kid tells someone off, you think "that's my girl!" / "thattaboy!", etc). - -sche (discuss) 15:08, 9 April 2022 (UTC)
