Originally, Team Rocket simply called {{Ash}} the '''boy''' and {{an|Misty}} the '''girl'''. Ash is usually the '''twerp''', (Japanese: '''じゃりボーイ''' {{tt|''jari-boy''|brat}}) according to [[Jessie]], [[James]], and {{MTR}}. Collectively, Ash and {{ashfr}} (no matter which ones with whom he is traveling at any given time) are the '''twerps''' (Japanese: '''じゃりん子''' {{tt|''jarinko''|the brats}}). The term can be extended to virtually anyone who associates with Ash and isn't on Team Rocket's side. They rarely refer to the twerps by their actual names. In fact, almost every time Team Rocket calls Ash and his friends by their real names is when they are in disguises or when Ash and Team Rocket are forced to work together. This seems to be more out of disrespect than not remembering the names of the twerps. | Originally, Team Rocket simply called {{Ash}} the '''boy''' and {{an|Misty}} the '''girl'''.

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 redhead" in ''[[EP028|Pokémon Fashion Flash]]'', and simply "the twerpy redhead" in ''[[EP249|I Politoed You So!]]'' Also, when referring to Ash's female companions from ''[[Pokémon the Series: Ruby and Sapphire]]'' onward, they will sometimes refer to them as '''twerpettes''' (Japanese: '''じゃりガール''' ''jari-girl''). They also occasionally called [[Max]] the "mini-twerp," the "little twerp," and, in ''[[AG081|Take This House and Shuppet]]'', the "littlest 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 Archipelago|Orange Islands]]. When May returned in ''[[Pokémon the Series: Diamond and Pearl]]'', she was referred to as the "[[Hoenn]] region twerpette." She was also referred to as "twerp with the head handkerchief" in ''[[AG150|May's Egg-Cellent Adventure]]''. {{an|Clemont}} is known as the "inventor twerp", and in ''[[XY046|The Clumsy Crier Quiets the Chaos!]]'' and ''[[XY083|Over the Mountain of Snow!]]'', he was called the "science twerp". Bonnie is called the "tiny twerp" in ''[[XY030|Mega Revelations!]]'', "little twerpette" in ''[[XY056|One for the Goomy!]]'', the "fun-sized twerpette" by Meowth in ''[[XY071|So You're Having a Bad Day!]]'', and the "mini-twerpette" in ''[[XY123|A Diamond in the Rough!]]''. {{an|Lillie}} was referred to as the "twerpette with the nice headwear" in ''[[SM014|Getting To Know You!]]'' and the "frilly twerpette" in ''[[SM049|Mission: Total Recall!]]''. Lana was referred to as the "blue-haired twerpette" in ''[[SM016|They Might Not Be Giants!]]''. Mallow was referred to as the "green-haired twerpette" in ''[[SM039|Mallow and the Forest Teacher!]]''. Goh was referred to as "Twerp 2.0" (pronounced "two point oh") (Japanese: '''ジャリボーイ2号''' {{tt|''jari-boy ni-gō''|brat boy #2}}) in ''[[JN017|Kicking It from Here Into Tomorrow!]]'', and in the Japanese versions of ''[[JN049|To Train, or Not to Train!]]'' and ''[[JN059|When a House is Not a Home!]]'', he was referred to as the "brainy twerp" in the English dub. | When they want to refer to Ash individually, they will call him just "the twerp."

Team Rocket seems to have no problem calling recurring characters some variation of "twerp," as well. [[Paul]], due to his rude and uncaring personality, is called "the rude twerp", though they have called him "the tall twerp" a couple of times, possibly a reference to the fact that he, like almost all of Ash's [[rival]]s, is taller than he. 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". [[Nini]] is referred to as the "guest twerp" in ''[[XY050|Pathways to Performance Partnering!]]''. | Team Rocket seems to have no problem calling recurring characters some variation of "twerp," as well.

Additionally, when referring to themselves as Team Rocket, they will sometimes refer to the twerps as Team Twerp in comparison. [[Butch]] and [[Cassidy]] have also called Ash and his friends twerps, and have called [[Ritchie]] the same in ''[[Pokémon Chronicles]]''. [[Attila]] and [[Hun]] refer to {{jo|Jimmy}} and {{jo|Marina}} as twerps (Japanese: '''ヒーロー気取りのガキども''' {{tt|''hīrō-kidori no gaki-domo''|those brats trying to be heroes}}). 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.
