Sammy
Dean: House rules, Sammy. Driver picks the music, shotgun shuts his cakehole.
Sam: You know, Sammy is a chubby 12 year old. It's Sam, okay?– Dean and Sam, 1.01 Pilot
Dean's nickname for Sam is Sammy, generally used either for teasing or in moments of great emotion. While Sam initially protests its use after he and Dean first reunite in 2005, it becomes clear it has as much meaning for Sam as it does for Dean when Gordon Walker uses it and Sam retorts "He's the only one who gets to call me that."[1].
This entry records the instances when Dean calls his brother "Sammy" or refers to Sam as "Sammy" when talking with others. Numerous “Baddies” refer to Sam as “Sammy” throughout the series, but they are not currently included.
Here is a video link for every time that Dean says "Sammy" through Season 8: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5r_QIGt71OI
