AITA for refusing to accept jokes at my expense

My friend’s sister decided to give me a coded nickname.

They kept calling me that and laughing.

I asked several times what it meant.

They told me to guess, but they carried on calling me the coded nickname and laughing.

This person got annoyed.

This went on for a couple of days.

In the end, I got annoyed and I snapped.

They then told me what the stupid nickname meant, it wasn’t anything bad, and they kept saying it was a joke.

They felt disrespected.

I explained to them that for me it wasn’t a joke, it was disrespectful because I didn’t understand the joke to laugh with them. Therefore, they were laughing at me and not with me.

They fail to understand that and seem to think that it was just a joke and I overreacted.

AITA for not finding the situation funny?
