Like at school the kid you hate, or at work the boss or colleague you don't like, you call them by their last names behind their backs to show you despise them. When I was little, the teachers called us by our last names when they were mad at us, or to show their superiority upon us. So, yes, in this case it's not very nice. But at the same time, sometimes boys call each other by their last names in a friendly way, in a kind of masculine way. I've seen girls do that too, when they want to be cool. Now, as an adult, as a joke, I sometimes call some of my firends by their last names, but it depends what friends, maybe more those who are a little bold. <br />But I know you guys in America do that and it's not disrespectful at all, in Asia they do that as well. So my man and I often call each other by our last names as nicknames, but we change the accent, he says my name with a Russian accent, me with a very bad French accent. <br />So you both are right in a way: that's the beauty of being a multicultural couple :)Anabellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00178447113138261177noreply@blogger.com
