    I’m guessing the word in their language is a cutesy moniker, like pumpkin or peanut in English.

      Yeah. Sounds odd, though. Now I have a better understanding of translators who insist on being literal vs. translators who are willing to bend the rules slightly in order to clarify what the speaker meant.
