[In The Zone]

I'll call people Junior at work as a sign of disrespect.

 

[zamboni]

It depends what they're selling imo. Some goods and services just go better with "boss".

"I'm here to help you understand the dynamic products we offer at Hugo Boss, boss."

 

[Leroy Hoard]

I wonder what Bruce Springsteen would say.

 

[Dr. Octopus]

I've never had a salesperson call me boss.

But I get called boss everytime I order burritos from my go to spot.

Maybe it is an ex con thing, maybe it a racist thing, maybe it is just a cultural thing. I don't really care because they always hook me up with extra salsa and green chile for free.

Maybe he’s just shortening your screen name.

 

[ChicoCat]

Boss feels like the title a white man who doesn't want to give me respect uses. I don't think I've ever heard from anywhere but janky white dudes.

Call both my boys “buddy” often. Will also call friends “buddy” in a serious fashion. YMMV, GB Woz.

I admit that I do call my son, "bud."

Almost every day when they get home from work or school - “hey buddy, how was your day?”.

Being allowed to call your son a stupid name is one of the perks of parenthood. Like not having to cut my own grass. No way am I giving that up.

 

[belljr]

I prefer Hoss

 

[IvanKaramazov]

Chief is my go to.

Username absolutely does not check out, unless you're using "Chief" as a term of derision.

 

[trogg78]

I voted all 3 options because I could.

 

[Ministry of Pain]

Been in sales almost my whole life in one form or the other, I never called someone Boss when i was trying to help them purchase what I was representing.
That's a terrible way to approach someone.

 

[top dog]

I'm 75% deaf in my right ear. So I'm sure someone has called me "boss" before but normally I hear "as;ikdflkqafdhbvlads,m sadhovgh asiodj;lidkahfla;sd ghl;akds gvasdf" when people are talking to me and I just fill in the blanks.

Dude.

I don't mind "dude." Same with "man."

All right, let's do this, I'm setting up a poll.

 

[Zow]

I'm honored when @SWC calls me "brohan" or some variant of the same.

You are correct. . It’s not a complement.

 

[Jayrod]

I prefer, "my liege", especially when I'm putting on airs.

 

[ChiefD]

Chief is my go to.

It really is better over here.

 

[SWC]

I remember when I was shopping for mortgages back in 05 I called one of those local brokers from the radio. Gave the dude my info and he calls back 15 min later and said something like

“Hey I forgot to tell you you can call me ‘the man’ or ‘THE MANNNNNNNNN!’ “ And told me I was pre-approved for way more than I can afford

Needless to say I did not get a mortgage through that Jackhole

I reckon I am not her gal pal. That would drive me nuts.

 

[dickey moe]

Just had a 15 minute phone call with a colleague. He signs off on the call with "Appreciate it, Boss!"

 

[Manster]

You can call me anything you want......just don't call me late for supper.
