I don't mind nicknames, but technically, I'm older than you, and probably taller.

But also, when you talk to most people like that, it sounds like you're talking down to them, which isn't very nice. Even for those of us who are more than we appear to be, who are older than everyone else, it's not right for us to stand on our mountains talk to others as if they're 'little' people.

Sokka isn't a "little one." He's a grown warrior of his tribe, he fought in a war, and he helped bring balance back to his world. To call him "little one" like he's a child is disrespectful in his culture--in most of the cultures from back home.
