We have to take issue with Ms. Stephenie Meyer, 'cause girl went ahead and dissed the very name her fans have made so popular.

So, what did the ultimate Twi-hard have to say about the infamous term?

She hates it.

That's right, you read correctly. In an interview with E! News' Jason Kennedy airing today, Steph admitted her disdain for the expression:

"I don't really like 'Twi-hard.' It sounds awful."

Really, Steph?! We think it sounds like you've got a huge bunch of devoted fans who identify with your work, and it's kind of fabulous that they've created their own personalized term, right?

Of course it is.

Still, she did say she liked one Twilight-related nickname. Which one?

Robsten, of course.

"I guess the Robstens are really funny to me," she dished. "You know, because they care so much about that relationship. It's just, I find it amusing."

Amusing? Well, that's not the word we'd use, but we will say the Robsten fans are passionate.

And you've got to love that.

Video: Pattinson dishes on wedding, honeymoon… in ‘Twilight’

  1. Closed captioning of: Pattinson dishes on wedding, honeymoon… in ‘Twilight’

    >>> back now at 8:12 and according to "glamour uk" i am sitting next to the world's sexiest man talking about actor robert pattinson who actually didn't even know that. he is revisiting immortality as vampire edward in the new movie the twilight saga " breaking dawn " and the fourth film starts with a wedding and a honeymoon.

    >> you tired? do you want to go for a swim?

    >> yeah, that sounds nice. i could use a few human minutes.

    >> don't take too long.

    >> robert pattinson , good morning.

    >> good morning.

    >> it seems like you struggle to watch yourself in a movie. you're sort of rubbing your eyes, sort of not really comfortable.

    >> i know. yeah. i don't know what's happened to me recently. i can't even look at a mirror without crying.

    >> really? why?

    >> not true.

    >> you know, this honeymoon obviously comes after probably one of the most stunning weddings on film ever. and really visually stunning. what was it like to see kristen walking down that aisle?

    >> it was nice. you suddenly realize that the role of a man, the role of a groom in a wedding is that of a prop. you kind of -- like watching kristen have to take all the nerves and deal with all the heavy lifting in the scene base clinchts becau basically. they sort of held her back and all of you worked together all of these years but you hadn't seen her before.

    >> i had seen her in the wedding dress but pretty much everyone else hadn't seen her so when she was walking down the aisle and everyone turned around there was genuine curiosity because there was so much secrecy about it. i don't know why. it's beautiful.

    >> it was stunning.

    >> it's an incredible dress.

    >> she was beautiful, kristen .

    >> she looks amazing.

    >> but that was the easy part. the hard part, i had been reading all this research. it was really it sounds like because you are a kind of shy fellow, shy, very talented fellow, that you sort of struggled with having to have your first scene, you know, in a love scene , the honeymoon love scene and i'm wondering, it seems to me that would be the worst part about being an actor, having to sort of do something so intimate with all of these cameras and people sort of watching.

    >> yeah, i mean, it's not so much doing the love scene that's the nerve-racking part because i mean i've done a bunch of them before but it's the fact that it's within the "twilight" series and so much based on -- you know, taylor lautner the sex pack himself.

    >> you were worried about being compared to taylor?

    >> you're thinking about sexual positions which don't involve --

    >> my gosh. that is so funny. and they're already screaming just hearing you speak about that outside.

    >> oh, can people hear?

    >> they can actually hear you outside.

    >> i was like what are they screaming at?

    >> there are millions of people watching on television. you know that. and you know it's interesting because this is the end, the second to the last of the movies of the series. and you, i'm wondering if you feel as though coming to this now speaking about this movie a sense of relief? or a sense of trepidation looking ahead?

    >> yes. a little of both. it's kind of -- i feel like i could have played -- i could have done anything between these movies. i could have gone and played a kind of, i don't know, trying to think of the most ridiculous part i could think of but everything i think of is insulting to someone. but like --

    >> i know you've come out and said you were worried about having the mark hammill curse, the fellow who played luke skywalker in " star wars ." you've got two movies going on, one with unmovma thurman so it sounds like you're doing really well.

    >> you have this series where you can -- you know, just be in any position where you get interviewed, you're afraid of being type cast. i wasn't afraid at all before. but, you know, it eventually seeps into you and you're going -- because there is another thing. you can't really -- you can't suddenly shun the audience which, you know, you've collected by doing all these movies. and so, you know, you feel like you want to do something different, completely different but that's not the right way to go about it. it's just a strange, hard industry. i think everyone is pretty much afraid .

    >> if you are then we all should be. you know? congratulations. at 25, so much success. a beautiful girlfriend, a wonderful career. movies in the works. enjoy it. enjoy the ride . don't be afraid. you're doing great.

    >> i am.

    >> " breaking dawn " part one opens in theaters nationwide next friday on november 18th .
