And I thought "bro" was cringey. I use "bro".

Literally nobody here (I've surveyed every single Irish person) uses that word. Though some may say "brother". But never bro.

Only knackers (pikeys/gypsies/travellers/itinerants) call you boss. It's really annoying, as it's almost a derogatory term. "You want to buy this, boss? Only ten quid, boss!"

__________________________________________________ __________________________________________________ _________ ...and, although I wouldn't put it so bluntly, I think Luccem has a point. Words like "honey" from an old guy to a young girl may be unthinkingly patronising, but they are said with good intention aren't they? Their message is, "Let's be friendly instead of formal" which is a well-intended gesture, especially given that the specific circumstance Batlord is talking about is "customer to service employee." The convention, which is probably enshrined in the employer's rule book, is that the employee must show deference to the customer, so when the customer says, "honey" isn't he saying, "Let's forget that old-fashioned subservience stuff and adopt a friendlier style" ? @ Batlord: May I suggest that you see past the irritating words like "honey" and give credit to the friendly intention behind them. Then you'd be able to move on and entertain us all by ranting about something more worthy of your undoubted powers of invective.
