My friend Roman tricked me into bending over so he could look down my shirt, only when he did he said "nice cleavland" instead of "nice cleavage" and since then he's called me cleavland. should i be offended by this? Because i don't really feel violated or anything. I mean he mixed up the words cleavlage and cleavland, maybe i should cut him some slack.

If you do not feel violated, then why make an issue of it....it is a running joke, just laugh and enjoy life!

You say you don't feel violated, so I don't think you should be offended. And since the man got the words mixed up, this seems slightly humorous. As long as the place and timing was okay, and you don't feel bad, then I guess you shouldn't feel opffended. If it was in a social setting where it was inappropriate, then you might tell him to try and not joke around during times like that.

Yes ma'am,you should. Not only is he disrespecting you when he addresses you by this name,but he shows his rudeness by doing so as well. As a friend,you need to sit him down and tell him you'd appreciate not being called that. If he doesn't stop,the just open up a can of WHOOP @SS and give him some multiple servings.

If you don't mind being "used" as a sex object, then cut him some slack, it's up to you. But be prepared, when you do, it'll get worse because he'll feel the freedom to treat you however he wants and it can get pretty sticky if later he tells you "you didn't seem to mind at first!" Depends on what you want and what it will lead to later.
Good luck.

This really depends on you and how you see this issue. I would personally find it offensive and wrong because I would feel as if this dude who is supposed to be my "friend" tricked me into doing something not cool. If you don't feel offended by it then that's fine - it's really up to you how you take and handle this issue.

You have all the right to be offended. He played an immature prank on you, and now teases you about it. He needs to grow up. I'd stay away from him until he does.

Well, you must feel offended or violated or something, otherwise you wouldnt have wasted your time coming on here asking about it. It must be bothering you in some form.

He did not get the words mixed up. He meant to say Cleaveland. It's funny, it's a compliment, but you should ignore it.

Uhh.. I can't tell you if you should be offended or not, thats up to you, but your friend sounds a little weird and I would be a little careful.
