I've noticed mostly bad guys say "halfling" in the LOTR movies and you can occasionally see a sour look on Merry or Pippin's faces when they hear it. Faramir is not a bad guy but he is somewhat hostile to Frodo and Sam when he first meets them, interesting given he makes friends with Pippin later.

IIRC It's a canon thing that Hobbits prefer being called Hobbits over halflings. Halfling derives from 'half-man' and, well, they're not really fond of being called half of anything when they're their own thing.

I always figured it was more of a "their word for themselves vs other people's word", especially when in canon hobbits have been so isolated. The humans they meet who use the word "halfling" have never met one before and are using the word their stories use.
