Similar to a nickname. However, it is a specific noise of sound someone makes up and does, usually goofy, funny/strange in nature and meant to be humorous rather than insulting, and directed to a specific person, place, animal or thing.
Your brother John reminds you of a donkey because he looks like a donkey or acts like one, so whenever you see him, you make a donkey sound for his nicknoise.
Your father said "oewwwww" one time when he was surprised, you thought it was funny when you were younger, so whenever you see him, you greet him with a "oewwwwww" rather than his name.
You have a puppy/dog, his name is Fido. But you think it's funny or cute to say it like "Fieeeeeeeeedo" in a funny sounding voice instead of just saying his name the normal boring way.
