Relationships are an ongoing affair, with constant growth and change of the individuals necessitating growth and change of the relationship itself. Of course, with the tendency for couples to establish codependency and isolate themselves from any other social interaction, often this growth and change can lead the couple in strange new directions, causing them to morph into unrecognizable amorphous symbiotes vaguely representing their former selves.
Part of this involves adopting pet names for one another that would evoke horror from anyone who might have the misfortune of overhearing them. Sometimes, these might even be vague insults that are lofted at one another with affection. This can occasionally go sideways when one side takes it too far or the other party isn't in the mood, as is what happened when this husband called his wife a "scruffy looking nerf herder." The phrase is part of a well-known insult that Princess Leia lobs at Han Solo in Star Wars: Return of the Jedi during a tense moment when the Han is acting overly full of himself. The insult itself is so ridiculous that it's hard to imagine anyone actually taking offense to it, especially when it's used in jest—but that didn't stop this wife from taking offense to the insult—or stop the internet from taking her side.
