Point being, language evolves with generations, to each there is new slang developed that continues to evolve in meaning given context.

With communication via TV, movie and da innert00bs, language is more viral whereas before it was colloquial, endemic.

The distribution of the various forms of Romansch across Switzerland, Italy and Austria is pretty interesting.

how would butch play?

In an LBGT context?

[PNWbrit]

Foggy nails it. Bud/buddy/guy/bro are all pejoratives.

Whatever mate.

[old goat]

Thank god "homie" never made it.

This is the wrong thread I know but white people calling other white people "homie" is annoying; white people calling black people "homie" is something else altogether.

[XXX-er]

Whatever mate.

we had a kiwi paddler here for 2 year and his usual greeting " whats up cunt ? "

he explained to us you don't wana be called mate cuz a mate is cunt and a cunt is a mate

I find accents interesting. With tv, youtube, instagram, etc you'd think they'd be homogenizing into a kind of gen-am, but the opposite seems to be true.

Older greater Boston white working stiffs tend to go with “brothah”

Local vernacular is a funny thing. Tone and context is everything however 'round here "Buddy" or "Guy" used towards someone you don't know is certainly condescending and comes with a healthy dose of "fuck you" attached.

People out here in the sticks, despite being something other than formal and proper, appreciate respect from strangers. "Excuse me Sir/Maam/Miss" is the appropriate way to get the attention of a stranger. We also exchange pleasantries, introduce ourselves, and shake hands.

People not from these parts find it a bit uncomfortable. On the jobsite, it is expected that anyone that doesn't know each goes through this process. If you don't, you are considered an instant outsider. It is one of the weird things around here that makes some people from the city think we are unfriendly. Guess what...get out a bit and you will realize that it is pretty much standard in the rest of the world.

Colorado is the only place where you can introduce yourself to an adult, women included, and they can just give you that Whazup Headnod that says, "Yeah, I heard you but I'm so self absorbed that you ain't shit to me". It is my number one read on potential customers.

Yesterday I went into a pizza place and got a couple slices. On my way out, into a crowded street, I heard someone in the distance yell, "Yo! Boss!".

I didn't flinch or turn around. I sat down on a bench outside and a guy approached me returning a shirt that had fallen off my pack.

I was extremely grateful, but questioned his linguistic tactics in my mind.

Yes, And no.

It's complex.... pal.

[iceman]

Yes, And no.

Standard NY language. Pizza comes from NY even in Vail. Got it yo?

[Ted Striker]

anyone still use names?

My new neighbor across the street is a retired teacher. He uses my name every time he sees me. It's like a flashback to high school.

He's living off a nice pension after learning that skill. Damn Boomer.

Boy, this thread has legs. I didn't know us old white guys are hated so much.

My old job just went to China. Sure glad I'm not 21 these days. Must suck.

[skiballs]

What's missing in the "hey buddy, dude or bitch", is body language. You can be the most polite obsequious so and so, but if your body language says fuck you, so do the words.

eh, southerners are good at telling you to 'go fuck yourself' without swearing and with a smile on their face.

A job that took a week to learn means you only had a week or two of job security at best, Benny.

Calling me "buddy" even with the most amicable of intentions, is among the quicker ways to elicit a rancorous response from me...
