Mine calls me homie now...

Same awesome dood for years, very personable compared to a lot of liquor store shitheads I've dealt with.

"Boss" used in that context goes back nearly 100 years.

Also, in Nigeria, it is a sign of respect to call someone "oga" or "boss"....

update: i was just called boss by my Deli Counter Meat slicer " hey boss what can i get you"

i responded:

"1 pound of your best turkey chief"

lol he didn't seem to like it

:1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh:thumbsup

:1orglaugh:1orglaugh

I get...

boss, hoss, champ, chief, bro, red, brother, dude, sir, young man, ginger, big guy, fire crotch, etc

I call people "chief" all day without any qualms...other than when i gamble at an indian casino...then i holster that and use another gem in my bag-o-tricks

"Boss" is often a phrase used by X-cons, for some god awful reason.

I saw on cops one time a guy called an officer boss and without hesitation the cop asked where he did his time and for what.

i dont like that shit call me sir or master

"Boss" and "big guy" I can't fucking stand (I'm 6'0 210 - they'd be calling like 30% of guys "big guy" if I fit the bill), and it's ALWAYS white guys saying it to me which I just don't get...I never speak up about it because I know they PROBABLY don't mean it in a derogatory sense but still. It'd be so tempting to respond to being called "boss" with "...yea, I am the boss mutha fucka, KNEEL!" Haven't encountered chief, sport, or champ too much...chief always makes me think of Robin Williams in Good Will Hunting.

I call people dude and I think most people from Cali especially southern Cali can't help it. And I doubt any of us knows how that originated as something to call people either.

boss is a term for co's

sorry son of bitch, is boss, backwards

i will not say this again :(

The black version of 'big guy' is 'big mane'...pronounced MANE, not man...

example...

I was in the county back in October on a bullshit domestic violence charge....I only ate one of my two sugar cookies...I was on the way to the trash and another convict said, "You gonna eat that cookie BIG MANE?".......

For some reason mine calls me "Chuckles"

Yes I hate when people call me chief coach champ boss etc it is a way of some one to play you out lol got it captian

got it suh massa suh :helpme

One of the advantages of living next door to Quebec is cheap beer in grocery stores.

Boss? No. Daddy? Yes after I slap his ass and call him Susan.
