On "Friends", what does Rachel call her former boyfriend, Pete Carney?

On “Friends,” Rachel calls her former boyfriend Pete Carney “Pete the Weeper.” The nickname comes up in “The One with the Candy Hearts,” the 14th episode of the first season, when Rachel and Monica discuss their history with disappointing men.

Rachel explains that Pete earned the nickname because he cried every time they had sex. She imitates him asking, “Was it good for you?”, turning the awkward memory into one of the episode’s quick character jokes. The exchange also contrasts Pete with Monica’s former boyfriend Howard, whom she calls Howard-the-“I-win”-guy.

A common mix-up is confusing Pete Carney with Pete Becker, the millionaire software developer Monica dates in season three. They are entirely different characters: Pete Carney is only discussed as one of Rachel’s former partners, while Pete Becker becomes a recurring onscreen love interest for Monica. The question’s wording points specifically to Carney, making “Pete the Weeper” the canonical answer.
