Difficult People Nicknames

Difficult People is one of my favorite shows of the last decade. In it, Julie and Billy, two jaded aspiring comedians who live together in New York City, navigate through their thirties while dealing with their individual careers and personal relationships. (I copy/pasted that from IMDb.) Julie lives with her boyfriend, Arthur, and just about anytime he addresses her, he calls her by some sort of nickname. I recently rewatched the series and, much like noting when the Asian Man said anything in Gilmore Girls, I decided to take note every time Arthur called Julie anything but her name.

He did this a lot.

I'll be the first to admit that the show isn't for everyone, but I enjoy it loads and these nicknames...they are something else.
