Being called "boss"?

Thanks for the responses. Helps clear things up quite a bit.

better than being called chump, brother.

So am I understanding right he thinks he can call people boss but won' accept being called it himself? Fuck him, if I couldn't handle being called asshole of waffleswaffleswaffleswaffleswaffles I wouldn't call my friends those things.

As for never seeing shawshank everyone needs to see that movie. It probably falls into my top 5 as is it one of the great movies I can watch anytime even on TNT or TBS starting half way through.

eggzachlee. Everytime. I see it on, and at a minimum, it goes on while I browse the guide. Likely, it's staying on.

Have you never seen The Shawshank Redemption?

greatest movie ever

Every time someone calls me "boss" it's usually some guy older than me who's in their late 20's/early 30's, when it happens everything in my mind goes in slo-mo.... and I'm just like, oh go fuck yourself.

I know I over-exaggerate, but it's so douchey in my opinion.

LOL funniest one yet

So much butthurt for such a simple name... I'll just stick to sir like I have been since forever. Although it was weird having my future "higher up" request that I call him by his informal name after I called him Mr. (insert last name here)...

I bet OP has not yet watched the movie, if this is the case, I shalt have to striketh down with great vengeance and furious anger.

Being called boss has never bothered me. When i was living in brooklyn everyone called me boss. Have heard it a few times out here in california but have never taken offense to it.

[FLYNAVY]

Never bothered me either. I think it can be said in a patronizing way, but so can anything else. As a guy that is 30 years young who is "sir" to the majority of people at work, I still find it awkward and mildly uncomfortable. It is completely positional and customary which I get, but I'm not personally a fan of that kind of formality. I blame my west coast upbringing I guess :)

The one that does strike me as patronizing as a generality is buddy or bud. I think bro, brah, or dude (or maybe dudemanbro) are all terms that you would say to an equal/peer, and I really have no problem with those. Granted I wouldn't use them with an older person, or someone who is senior to me professionally speaking, but they don't offend me when it is another young person talking.

The whole being addressed as boss seems like it was trending a while ago. In the professional workplace using that term is definitely frowned upon.

Bud and bro are two that i hate. makes me cringe when i hear people calling each other bro. makes you look like such a tool.

+ Cool Hand Luke. Every few lines in that movie has the word "boss."

"I'm shaking it, boss..."

every time someone on a jobsite calls me boss, i know he wants something for free. asslicking, in other words.
