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.

You slut.

Ok...Chief Savage.

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.

I am sorry for your dejected state.

chiefarooney?

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

Also floatingslowly.

perfect execution.



that's harsh. I like it.



this almost subliminal jab at somebody's obvious idiocy scores high marks.

please move to the head of the class.

yr a born natural at this.



please report yr experiences with it in this thread.

meanwhile, I'll be patiently waiting to hear about it.

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.

I've never run across that one.

it sounds like the fabled home of the vikings.

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

"broheim" sounds like some exotic dinner.

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

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

"lil' guy"

Ok lil floatinguyslowly.

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.
