This is me also. I don't know where I picked it up from.
My most recent job has a couple of Spanish guys that call the actual boss man "jefe" and he (the whitest guy ever) responds well to it. I think that's fun. I don't know if I can get away with it, though, also being one of the whitest guys ever.
I got this a lot when I was an actual boss. It was always done in a brotherly, jokingly left-handed, kind of way. This fits perfectly with my management style. It was nice.
When I was a kid, there was a food truck we'd occasionally visit, where the vendor would address us as Chief. "Good afternoon, chief, what'll it be?" "Coming right up, chief" "Here you go, chief" "Have a great day, chief!"
I loved it as a kid. Not sure how I'd feel about it today, but it absolutely was an effective contribution to us going back there frequently.
For um “honouns” (maybe not!) I’ll never turn down a “Hun” or a “Babes”, maybe a “Girlfriend”. But if I get a “Gorgeous”, “Queen” or “Diva”, I can use my laser beam eyes and super strength
I like both cat and dog, ranger and sport are classics that need to come back. Hotshot and stud are both good as well. Slick is the ideal insulting bronoun. You fuck up and someone says "nice going slick" and that's it, go home for the day, try again tomorrow.

A while back my work told us to stop using the word "guys" when referring to groups of people since it wasn't inclusive.
I switched to "homies" and honestly it's better in all situations.

Some people call me boss, it's very affirming but I'm not sure why they do it. I'm a low wage worker that's slightly weird and awkward
FireRetardant@lemmy.world · 14 pts · 54d
Im the some people. I call a lot of folks boss. Held the door for me? Thanks boss. Pumped my gas? Thanks boss. Thanked me? No problem boss.

That's how I feel about "Big Dawg." I'm not that big, and not that much of a dog.
