I found myself walking a little way behind a youngish man who was on the phone to some friend of his and like 99% of what he said was like, “yes king, I hear you boss, don’t worry about it king” I thought it was incredible

A kid answering their mobile to a parent and saying ‘awright, mate!’ is only trying to style out the embarrassment of a checking-in call in front of their… mates.

I find it infuriating when my kids call me "bruh" - wrong family member! try again!i used to work in a cafe that travelled around festivals every summer and one day we decided to call every customer or manager "chief" - nice balance of potential respect and disrespect there.

Classic = saying a close friend/family members name too often in close succession. Good way to keep em on their toes, don't let em get too familiar ya know?
― H.P, Tuesday, 13 February 2024 11:36 (seven months ago) link
A friend of mine and I once tried to see how many of these we could string in a row.
"How's it going, buddy?"
"Not bad, chief. You?"
"Could be worse, boss."
etc.
It became ridiculous very quickly.

True story: I once left my glasses on the subway. A friendly stranger wished to alert me to this fact.
For context, at the time I was a reasonably tall and thin person (six feet tall weighing something like 120 pounds).
Anyway, our good Samaritan was trying to get my attention. He must have started with something like "hey man" or "hey, dude," and I didn't respond. As I was starting up the escalator and he shouted "YO! STICK!"
I turned and retrieved the glasses before the subway doors closed and life moved on. Wherever you are, kind stranger, thank you.

can't imagine disliking bad boy. mundane activities are better when everything is a bad boy. when i see an egg i gotta crack that bad boy into the pan, when i see my shoe i gotta put that bad boy on my foot, my teeth are bad boys i gotta brush real good, etc
