When they want to refer to Ash individually, they will call him just "the twerp." However, if they want to refer to his friends individually, they will use a variation of this. Their nickname for {{an|Brock}} is "the big twerp" or "the tall twerp." {{an|Misty}} was called "the twerpy little red-head" in ''[[EP028|Pokémon Fashion Flash]]''. Also, when referring to {{an|May}}, {{an|Dawn}}, {{an|Lyra}}, {{an|Iris}} or {{an|Serena}} they will sometimes refer to them as '''twerpette''' (Japanese: '''じゃりガール''' ''jari-girl''), the feminine version of "twerp" (though it should be noted that the term "twerpette" was not mentioned in the dub until the {{series|Advanced Generation}}). They also occasionally called [[Max]] the "mini-twerp" or the "little twerp." When May and Dawn first joined Ash on his journey, they were referred to as "the new twerp." {{Tracey}} was also once called "the new twerp" and Brock "the old twerp" upon Ash's return from the Orange Islands. When May returned in the {{series|Diamond & Pearl}} she was referred to as the "[[Hoenn]] region twerpette." May was also referred to as "twerp with the bandanna" in ''[[AG150|May's Egg-Cellent Adventure]]''. | When they want to refer to Ash individually, they will call him just "the twerp."

[[Paul]], due to his rude and uncaring personality, is called "the rude twerp," though they have called him "the tall twerp" a couple times, possibly a reference to the fact that he, like all of Ash's [[rival]]s, is taller than him. In ''[[DP079|Strategy with a Smile!]]'' Meowth refers to [[Zoey]] as "the red-haired twerp." {{an|Barry}} is known as the "fining twerp" because of his consistent threats to fine people for various reasons. {{si|Kenny}} is called "the Contest twerp" in ''[[DP122|Stopped in the Name of Love!]]'' for being one of Dawn's rivals. In ''[[DP161|Yes in Dee Dee, it's Dawn]]'', Ursula is referred to as the "twirly-haired twerpette." In ''[[DP168|Keeping In Top Forme!]]'', Team Rocket calls [[Marley]] the "sleepy twerpette." {{an|Clemont}} is known as the "inventor twerp", and in ''[[XY046|The Clumsy Crier Quiets the Chaos!]]'' and ''[[ | [[Paul]], due to his rude and uncaring personality, is called "the rude twerp," though they have called him "the tall twerp" a couple times, possibly a reference to the fact that he, like all of Ash's [[rival]]s, is taller than him.

Additionally, when referring to themselves as Team Rocket, they will sometimes refer to the twerps as Team Twerp in comparison. In the {{pkmn|anime}}, Ash is the one true twerp and all other twerps exist in relation to him. [[Butch]] and [[Cassidy]] have also called Ash and his friends twerps, and have called [[Ritchie]] the same. [[Attila]] and [[Hun]] refer to {{jo|Jimmy}} and {{jo|Marina}} as twerps (Japanese: '''主人公の少年''' {{tt|''shujinkō no shōnen''|boy hero}}). Thus, it seems to be a common insult by all members of [[Team Rocket]]. | Additionally, when referring to themselves as Team Rocket, they will sometimes refer to the twerps as Team Twerp in comparison.
