the point here is, to use a "name-title" that's not outright offensive (hence leaving off something like "professor" which would infer stupidity), and use something that can really go either way.

I was told (by a master-chiefer) that chiefing somebody is really the top choice here. it's not going to drag you into a fight, but clearly, they aren't the chief of anything, and so it just works.

Chill, dude.

He's got to be really old.

"Son" isn't too bad, but "Sonny", or, even worse, "Sonny Jim"... Grrrrrr

alyasa 10.08.2007 03:31 AM

But most men call me 'Big Brother'

"star" also works well in place of "tiger".

as in: "easy, star".

that's a frequent favorite of mine.

SynthethicalY 10.08.2007 02:55 PM

So I should call you star?

as do I (don't tase me).

thing is, like "dude", it's neutral.

"brah", like "guy" also carries with it the chance of backfire on the user.

this thread is more about using words against others in a subtle manner, than just words you hate being called.

it's better than "tiger"!


another note about "tiger": as with "chief", "hombre/amigo" and "bro/"boy", you have to be careful on who you use it on.

saying "tiger" to the wrong person may be interpreted as a homosexual come-on (but if this is intended, you could also use the word "sailor").

Ok tiger.

Savage Clone 10.08.2007 03:02 PM

You slut.

SynthethicalY 10.08.2007 03:03 PM

Ok...Chief Savage.

Savage Clone 10.08.2007 03:05 PM

Up here, you get the occasional suburban soccer coach-type (you know the type: bad goatee, big belly, white baseball cap) who extends "Chief" to the ever-popular 'Chiefaroony.'

Ack.

SynthethicalY 10.08.2007 03:07 PM

I am sorry for your dejected state.

SynthethicalY 10.08.2007 03:07 PM

chiefarooney?

SynthethicalY 10.08.2007 03:13 PM

A cute little kid. Mostly dad's say it to their young 'uns.

While not a fan of this term's usage in a direct person-to-person sort of way, I do find the term "Broheim" to be hilarious.

You know, like when you're talking about someone while observing his bizarre behavior out in public, and your friend elbows you and says, "What's the deal with Broheim over here?"

I still can't bring myself to say it out loud, but I love hearing it from people for some reason.

"We meet in Broheim at battle's end!"

SynthethicalY 10.09.2007 09:02 AM

"broheim" sounds like some exotic dinner.

themawt71 10.09.2007 08:56 PM

dude-

when speaker is not really a "dude" and the one spoken to is pretty much a "dude". there can be varying degrees of dudness. one frat boy to another does not work. hipster pavement fan to frat boy can work but it might backfire. hipster pavement fan to 20 something metal head might get a feeling of togetherness but then immediately comes the confused silence and change of subject.

it works

alyasa 10.09.2007 09:25 PM

I think Broheim, is actually Bro Hymn... Like that song by Pennywise...

floatingslowly 10.11.2007 10:48 AM

"lil' guy"

SynthethicalY 10.11.2007 10:49 AM

Ok lil floatinguyslowly.

Savage Clone 10.11.2007 11:06 AM

Around here, reeeally cheesy car salesman-type guys (you know, the kind who make pointy-gun fingers at you and make that "clicky sound") will refer to people as "big shooter."

That is the worst.
Also has pornographic connotations to the gutter-minded, but these do not generally occur in the mind of the user. This is my theory.

too many syllables.

the idea is to keep it short and to the point, big shooter.
