Today, I found out that the loving nickname my Chinese mother has been calling me my entire life essentially translates to "little retard". FML

If my limited Mandarin Chinese is correct, then I do believe that OP was most affectionately called "xiao di neng," pronounced kshi-ao dee nahng in English.

Asian parents can be harsh dude. Laugh about it and move on? Unless she's done other things to indicate she's abusive or whatever, it's just one of those things

“我亲爱的宝贝小白痴!”

Ah my bad. :( didn't realize it looks like that on other people's screens.

Use the information to put the guilt on her at every opportunity. Good times especially would be right before your birthday or any gift giving holidays! Play it right and you can use this for the rest of your life! :D

My grandmother always called me ugly in Spanish as a "compliment"

In Germany, a common pet name for babies/small children is 'Little shit'...

I just learned my Russian mother has been calling me an ass my whole life. :/

(Weirdly) She probably means it in a loving way. My friend's dad calls him ******** all the time but he knows it's a joke, it may be similar with what your mom is calling you

So what, she's the female Chinese version of Red Forman or something?
