Girls for what reason would you choose to call your boyfriend 'tiger'?

[Anonymous]

It seems a strange nickname to use

[snowwhite84]

I call my boyfriend that whenever he was trying to get tough. However, it wasn't used as a nickname... Every once in a while he puffs out his chest and try to be the tough. So, I just say "your just so fierce!", "your as tough as a box of kittens... Declawed kittens" or " *hisss* put you claws back in tiger " He does the same to meet whenever I get on edge too :3

Haha i never try that in he least though, my girlfriend has taken to calling me this all the time

Because its sort of a well known phrase/nickname for someone who is about to go do something energetic. Like other's said 'go get em tiger' or similar.

You would call your boyfriend tiger if you are Mary Jane and he is Spiderman.

i'm lost here

i thought you would get the reference D; at the end of Spiderman 2 he's going out to fight crime and Mary Jane says "go get em tiger" so basically it's only not weird if it's in a movie

It sounds like she is very pound of you. Tiger is very strong wild animal. It is not weird for me.
