...do you see this as a compliment or an insult?

I personally think it's condescending when someone in a customer service position calls you that.

I fully expect each response to end in "boss", "chief", "champ", "tiger" etc. :lol

 

[evil solrac v3.0]

I feel like Solid Snake or Big Boss.

 

[ClovingWestbrook]

LOL waits for member who now has a BOSS tag.

 

[JumpJeff84]

yeah this irritates me, boss.

 

[Alucrid]

Only if I'm not actually their boss or chief.

 

[heliosRAzi]

It means they've been in jail before, at least with boss

 

[OnPoint]

"bro" can also be condescending

 

[ConfusingJazz]

I find it makes my day more awesome.

 

[Vox-Pop]

I hate when my boss, calls me boss.

 

[rezuth]

This greek I buy food from keeps calling me Boss all the time, I like it :lol

 

[hulkamania-owns-you]

hey buddy!

 

[Korey]

The drive through guys at fast food places always call me "bro"

 

[wenis]

I always respond with a "what do you want" in my best snake voice...9 times out 10 they always stop after that.

 

[CrankyJay]

This greek I buy food from keeps calling me Boss all the time, I like it :lol

:lol

How about "my main man?"

 

[blame space]

 

[Macho Madness]

"Bud" is the worst. FUCK YOU, I am not bud. Go die or something.

 

[The Frankman]

hey buddy!

I'm not your buddy, pal.

 

[teruterubozu]

"Hey you, fucker!" can be pretty grating.

 

[Darth Pinche]

Hey pal, I'm not your buddy!

 

[UFRA]

I'm not your buddy, pal.

He's not your pal, guy.

 

[Talon]

Grow a pair, kiddo.

I tend to address people as kiddo, champ, and chief pretty frequently, but only to people that I'm close with, otherwise it probably seems a little pedantic.

 

[RedShift]

It's fine if you're John 'The Boss' Locke.

Otherwise they're a damn liar.

 

[DoomGyver]

I admit I call people Champ way too often.

 

[Chamber]

I always say chief in a condescending tone. It's my gimmick.

 

[Jesus Carbomb]

He's not your pal, guy.

Don't call me guy, friend.

 

[SystemShock2]

I use guy and bud every once in a while. If someone were to call me one of those or chief or boss, I'd give them shit for it because it is certainly condescending, but I wouldn't really care too much because I do the same thing.

 

[BeEatNU]

I feel like Solid Snake or Big Boss.

1st post got it right (when they call me boss)

 

[Sage00]

 

[UFRA]

Don't call me guy, friend.

I'm not your friend, buddy.

 

[hbkajshdvfbkjhvgkahsgdfka]

I always get called boss when I go to Foot Locker. It feels good.

 

[Dacvak]

I'm not your friend, buddy.

I'm not your buddy, chap.

 

[Nemo]

Heeey, take is easy jefe

 

[ruuk]

Any term can be condescending, it depends on the circumstances. Look at A.D.A. Ben Stone, he would call people "Sir" every time 'fuckface' might have been more appropriate.

 

[UFRA]

I'm not your buddy, chap.

I'm not your chap, guy!

 

[freddy]

My doctor had been calling me boss for a while and I asked him why one day. He said I reminded him of his ex boyfriend and he used to call him boss too. I always thought it was strange that he used to feel my balls when I had a sore throat.

 

[Pancakes]

I'm not your chap, guy!

I'm not your guy, fwiend.

 

[dojokun]

Maybe if they call you "Boss"...

 

[samus i am]

It's awesome Bro.

 

[Angry Grimace]

When someone calls me boss, I usually presume they've done time in prison.

 

[DonMigs85]

Hardly hear "mack" nowadays

 

[UFRA]

I'm not your guy, fwiend.

I'm not your fwiend, budday!

Spoiler

I could do this all day....ahhh South Park. :lol

 

[KingHenrik30]

I think chief is 100% meant to be an insult these days, and 100% hilarious

 

[elrechazado]

what about "ace"?

 

[The Frankman]

I'm not your fwiend, budday!

Spoiler

I could do this all day....ahhh South Park. :lol

I'm not your budday, ace!

 

[ruuk]

It's like calling someone Einstein.

 

[eggandI]

"sport" is the most irritating of all

 

[esquire]

bro'
bro-seph
bro-heim
bro-dizzle
bro-sizzle
bro-ly

sarcastic


brother

non-sarcastic


I've always felt weird when someone older than me calls me 'boss' or 'chief.' As if it's meant to be some indicator of status when shouldn't be.

 

[Aselith]

I'm not your budday, ace!

I'm not your goddamn ace, sport.

 

[Veidt]

I'm not your goddamn ace, sport.

I'm not your sport, fellow.

 

[DataStream]

My AU friends like to call people "champion".

I think its quite a complement.
