What To Reply When Someone Calls You Shawty

1. “Hey Hottie, How’s your day?”

Because you’re a short and cute-looking girlfriend.

4. “I don’t have time for you, Pawty.”

You’re short in height that’s why they call you Shawty. 

They never say anything good about anyone, so you call them ‘pawty’ or ‘potty’. 

Just a clever response to give your annoying friend. 

5. “Excuse me, What did you just say to me?”

When you say that, you’re giving them a chance to change their sentences. 

Also, this is the way to remind them to never call you ‘Shawty’ or ‘Shorty’ again. 

Because you’re not even want to hear again from them. 

6. “Not sure why you call me that, but you’re Shawty, too”

You don’t feel offended, but express your confidence in the way you are.

7. “Stop it, you. Btw, I like it when you call me Shawty.”

When your crush calls you ‘Shawty’ and it feels more cute than anyone says it to you.

Over text or in person, you like to hear it more often from him ONLY. 

8. “Could you just call me with anything but this?”

You’re annoyed whenever that one friend calls you ‘Shawty’. 

Maybe they say it always.

Before other people in the group get that habit of calling you ‘shorty’ or ‘shawty’, you want to stop them in the first place.

9. “Remember, everyone is Shawty for someone.”

You might be shorter than this friend, but there’s someone taller than him.
