i'd been wondering how sansa and jeyne poole's insulting names for the redwyne twins made it to cersei's pov in feast, and now i believe i've found the answer.
[Petyr Baelish, in the council meeting where he volunteered to treat with the Tyrells:]"I'll include Horror and Slobber in my party, and send them on to their lord father afterward [...]" -Tyrion VIII, aCoK
normally i'd find any instance of littlefinger creeping on sansa to be well, creepy and skeevy, and (given future events) any association of him with jeyne is especially revolting and repugnant, but there is something funny about imagining him lurking around them at some point in agot (probably during the tourney festivities), overhearing their disparaging talk of the redwyne twins and deciding he had to steal those names for himself to show off his wit with queen and council. maybe baelish's dislike of his own nickname means part of his revenge at the world at large means he can't resist any mean names for other more blue-blooded nobles he can find, and in this case he had to learn these nicknames from two 11yo girls. this pales in comparison to all his later crimes against those girls, though it does mean cersei likely thinks the names came straight from littlefinger, never knowing the true source she has to thank for shittalking the redwynes like that.
