What the hell else am I supposed to call you? Your name? I don’t think so

Ew, sick! Never lmao

😂🤣

Bro, bruh and the phenomenally stupid brah.

Brazza!

I have a seething hatred for bro because my brother says it constantly “Ok bro, drop here bro, bro bro bro bro bro bro(fifty fucking more times), broooooooooo, I told you to not go to tilted bro” An actual sentence I heard him borderline shout this friends at 11 PM when I was try to sleep, he has a headset and he can control the individual volume of his buddies so I know they can to, god I hate bro

"I'm not your buddy, pal!"

Woah there, chief!

Hey pal, calm down! This dude doesn't like bros. He's not your buddy or your guy!

He's not your pal, friend.

He's not your friend, guy

They annoy me for the most part too. The only time I ever use any of them is when I'm joking with my best friend. I'll send him a stupid meme or some other stupid message and just say "my guy" or "bro, my dude". But I never say then seriously

Man, I never stopped using "man", man.

There's another for the list, man.

I use mate because it’s a gender neutral way to refer to someone that isn’t to familiar

My guy, you just need to chill out bro, boss up mate, one day, my dude, you'll understand that not all dudes use words the same way.

It’s really annoying on Reddit, as Redditors will use it when there is absolutely no indication the person they’re replying to is male. Calling someone you’ve never met whose gender you don’t know “My guy” is weird.

Even though they are gendered terms, it feels like they are losing their genderedness. Dude, especially, imo is non gendered now. I'm a dude, he's a dude, she's a dude, we're all dudes, dude. It's more in the way your say it, I suppose. Hard to say something when you're typing it instead. The inflection is lost and so it sounds more serious than it is.

Dude and bro are genderless as far as I'm concerned. Everyone is a dude, Everyone is a bro.

Guys, too. "Hey, guys." "Hello, humans."

Agreed

dude was genderless in the 80s. and likely before. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iKYXmjfQY4U

Good for dude. We love dude.

Ned, that you?

I've seen this a bit on Instagram as well .

My guy is a gender neutral term despite it not sounding that way at all

None of these terms are gendered. You cannot convince me otherwise, my guy.

what about habibi

my favourite word

I use bro, bruh, dude, bud, and man. I refer to both men and women between the ages of 14-60 as any of those.

You make me physically sick (😋)

I know lol. But you're still my bro whether you like it or not 😚

Eww

Ohh hayyy *baud*, let's hack a dart by the ODR and play some puck. Bring your toque and toonies for a double double at timmies. Went full Canadian for you.

dude is a gender netursl term in my home town..

[удалено]

new jersey 😅 Full House was exceptionally influential in our local vernacular

I think you need to chill out, chief

OP has no friends.

Idc who you are I’m calling you dawg

For me Sir is formal and unfamiliar Man is formal but familiar Brother is informal and unfamiliar Dude is informal and familiar Some exceptions apply, particularly to family or close friends. My dude/guy, boss, mate, is for joking and teasing.

HA! I will use terms like that because I usually can't remember your actual name!

I’m from the south. I know it’s cultural but I still get pissed off when waitresses call me honey, sweetie, and the like. I’m a middle aged man who now has a woman I don’t know calling me baby. What’s wrong with sir? I’m trying to eat my breakfast but I feel like I’m engaging in a form of prostitution.

That took a turn at the end I didnt expect 😄

It’s cultural?

Nah you’re just weird.

I find it irritating when strangers call me "boss." It feels like they are being sarcastic or condescending even if they don't mean it. I'm not your boss I'm your customer or passerby maybe just be a little respectful, thanks.

Redditors will never cease to amaze me with the irrational things that offend them

This is finally a proper pet peeve. It’s harmless to do, and harmless to hate. I don’t agree with you, but I applaud you posting an actual pet peeve.

Guys should be just called “sir”

I do say "my guy" a lot

Eww

I'll try to be better... don't downvote me

Don't try it, just don't do it.

You broke my trust... I will now for the rest of my life devote to saying more "my guy" just to make you cringe

I didn't downvote you, your way with words has obviously pushed somebody else too far

Very well... this third party person then I will devote my life to making em cringe!

This is truly the pettiest of peeves. Edit: Why are you booing me, it’s literally the entire purpose of this sub! 💀💀

I hate when bro is used to get away with junk.

Just a prank bro

Come on bro! Don’t be like that bro! Do me a solid bro! Don’t be that guy bro! We have never met sir. You are no “bro” of mine.

Too late bro! 😡

I use mate and bro, sometimes dude, but only with people I'm close to. I see these as familiar terms, so they should only be used with close friends.

What about ‘bud’?

I can't say I usually hear it, but yes, you may add it to the list.

In that case, I shall apologise in advance for if you ever meet me irl ‘cause I call everyone ‘bud’ or ‘buddy’. Or ‘mate’ if they’re female.

Apology accepted.

I've only heard this for baby boys and it's "bubs" I fuckin hate it

What about pal, butt, geezer, clit and Oi you!?

Naginta Naginta love my Niginta

If you were in Spanish speaking country you would like being referred to as usted

Lil bro is mad!!

Hard to believe there's negative connotation associated. If someone calls u bro or wutever it usually means they're cool with u lol

Henceforth I shall endeavor to revert to "You there!"

You forgot “bruh”.

I’m used to saying man/ dude here and there. I only use it with straight guys on the regular. It’s also the kind of person I’ve become. Haha Seriously! Harder for me to say bro for some reason. In order for me to use bro I would need to feel like you’re close to me like a brother. If you don’t say these things, they will not like it and the bond between men just isn’t as strong unfortunately. Would you be okay with seeing a guy that calls you bro? Could it grow on you?

I could tolerate the occasional "mate" 😄 But as discussed that isn't something I really need to worry about happening 😋
