请问什么叫name calling

字典上说，name calling的一个主要的含义是verbal abuse

但不明白为什么叫name calling

给别人起带有污辱性的绰号叫做Name Calling。

简单的说是骂人吗

失落的我

昨天下棋，那个家伙输了，走之前打了两个字母 sb

* [1 {6 W5 r7 u- u  Y' i我这个气啊，输就输了，骂人干什么。

三思

就是起外号，比如小四眼啥的。名词，表示这个行为。

; b( N( Q0 v& u3 W6 @" c& ?. m著名圣诞歌曲红鼻子驯鹿鲁道夫，就是典型的name calling. 歌词中有一句“Used to laugh and call him names” 就是起外号的动词形式，注意，叫谁的名字是call sb's name, 但是call sb names就是起外号了。
