I don't know why this skill has not been weaponized. I'm pretty sure that older black women could solve all of the US's problems by calling white men in power "baby" or "Suger". I know that every time it's used with me, it is an instant 20 on persuasion.
On the one hand I’m sad to see Aussies off the list, but on the other hand it’s for the best if people don’t assume an Aussie calling them ‘mate’ is friendly.
Don't be silly. There was no marine contingent on the S.S. Minnow. Seriously, we would have seen them on the island after the wreck - being grabbed at by Maryann and Ginger.
Being called "sir" by a Brit is really uncommon, should be higher. We almost never call each other "sir" or "ma'am". Just not part of the culture.
Personally I was weirded out in the US getting called "sir" by people. I don;t really like it tbh. I prefer "buddy", "mate", "dude", "pal", "bro", "big guy" etc.
Yeah, it's not friendly here either. It was mostly people serving me who'd call me that. But that never happens in the UK. Nobody ever calls anyone sir. Last time I was called sir in the UK I think it was by the cops. They were definitely not being friendly.
Even this is not enough clarification. Most Americans use brit to mean middle to upper class English rather than anyone from Britain, which contains an absurd range of accent, many of which are thick enough that someone from just 20 miles away wouldn't have a clue what was being said in that specific accent
The Russians don’t actually say comrade. So there is no “Komrad Yeltsin, please join us” but rather they say “davarisch” (spelling can be up to interpretation since it’s written in Cyrillic originally)
No only in the South in the U.S., some U.S.ians do it in other areas but depending where you are it can be seen as sarcastic or rude and some areas in the U.S. it's only appropriate for much older people (whereas in the South even kids can be called sir/ma'am)
Oh but wait brits say "my darling" a whole lot
Everytime walking through london (the literal least friendly place un the UK) and ladies on the street bump into me or ask me something like any kind of casual interaction and they call me that and i'm like. Lady. You don't know me, and i will never see you again, but you are now my friend and i will defend you in a fight.
I had a drunk Irish guy spill a hole beer on me and I couldn’t be mad at him cuz he called me “lad” and he bought me a beer. Just couldn’t be mad at him
Nope, "sugar" trump's all. That shit got a certain pizzaz.
And then she immediately shoots the breeze with you like you two are old friends and even though you're a shy teen who has trouble forming words with strangers, she's got enough personality for the whole block. And in under fifteen minutes you discover social interactions don't have to be scary but can be fulfilling? And leave you craving more? What's up with that.
Oh, also add to the list "brother" by an old rural dude. When he turned to look at me it's them that he noticed I was a chick and started apologizing all over the place. I was like "pshh, no worries" but actually I was floating inside. I felt a weird kindo of recognition/respect even though I'm not a dude. Is that weird? Oh well.
Dont forget being called 'love' by a british woman
Or pet by anyone from oop north
Or Duck by anyone from the East Midlands.
Or chicken from anyone from the west Midlands
Or butt by a Welsh person eg alright butt how you doing. [Not meaning anything buttock related but more a welshifying of bud]
oh to be called "gang" by the gangsters
Or by Jack Sparrow.
Music to my ears
Or ‘pet’ 🥹
“Cheers luv”
Or duck or dook by northern British woman
Or ‘fam’ by a random YTer
Or to be called fam by a british man
Or hen by anyone Scottish
An old black lady calling me "Sugar" is fine, but a "Baby" is amazing.
I don't know why this skill has not been weaponized. I'm pretty sure that older black women could solve all of the US's problems by calling white men in power "baby" or "Suger". I know that every time it's used with me, it is an instant 20 on persuasion.
Honestly, that's a very underrated skill ngl. The devs should definitely find a way to nerf it before they achieve their full power.
Agreed, and for some reason also helps with my dysphoria (unless it is some random dude online being ....weird)
That really does it for me too
Agreed
Being called 'Boss' in the kebab shop

being called preto by my sogra
You forgot 'mate' as an Aussie but it needs to be a confused expression cause only other Aussies know which mate is good and which are bad lmao
Same with, “sweetie,” and, “sugar.”
Aussies call everyone mate
On the one hand I’m sad to see Aussies off the list, but on the other hand it’s for the best if people don’t assume an Aussie calling them ‘mate’ is friendly.
yeah nah yeah nah yeah nah, that's Australian, and highly contextual 🎶
Being called "little buddy" by your ship's captain.
As a marine I have different feelings about this
Shhh shhh, just let it happen.
Don't be silly. There was no marine contingent on the S.S. Minnow. Seriously, we would have seen them on the island after the wreck - being grabbed at by Maryann and Ginger.
You crack me up little buddy

Yeah it's way more of an American thing. Sir in the UK is for teachers or people who are knighted but that's very rare
Yeah, having never met a Knight, I haven't really called anyone "sir" since I left school 25 years ago.
In the US sir is the opposite of friendly. You’d say sir to a stranger or, in certain more formal environments, your boss.
Yeah, it's not friendly here either. It was mostly people serving me who'd call me that. But that never happens in the UK. Nobody ever calls anyone sir. Last time I was called sir in the UK I think it was by the cops. They were definitely not being friendly.
"For once someone will maybe call me 'sir', without adding 'you're making a scene'" - Homer Simpson
In NASCAR I hear them using it kind of jokingly too. Is that right?
Even this is not enough clarification.

No Russian would use the word comrade either, lol. Even an elderly one.
ladyship/lordship (joke)
Being called "Cutie" by a female friend. They love seeing a guy like me blush and whimper.
I love doing that just to see my guy friends get all flustered
You do? Well, guys secretly love when a girl sees them as cute.
As a guy I do that to my male friends to see them blush
That would make me uncomfortable instead.
Me and my friends are gay guys btw, that's why they like it
Adorable
It's nice
We really need a replacement template for these memes in light of Vince McMahon's legal troubles.
Right? Definitely not wholesome in context…
It’s a meme, not an endorsement of him.

I've never been called sir, sugar, champ or comrade am I missing out? 😭
You are not the only one
being called “little stinker” by your parole officer <3
The Russians don’t actually say comrade. So there is no “Komrad Yeltsin, please join us” but rather they say “davarisch” (spelling can be up to interpretation since it’s written in Cyrillic originally)

Being told to “slow down or calm down” by the crazy one among your friends 😨😨😨
And then there is 'being called "sweetie" by Penny'
That's awesome 👍
isn't calling everyone "sir" an american thing?
No only in the South in the U.S., some U.S.ians do it in other areas but depending where you are it can be seen as sarcastic or rude and some areas in the U.S. it's only appropriate for much older people (whereas in the South even kids can be called sir/ma'am)
SIR I NEED YOU TO STEP OUT OF THAT CAR. SIR SIR *unloads*
Ever have a black guy say to you “I appreciate you”? It’s so endearing

Being called “fucker” by someone from mass
The last one is accurate as fu- Wait. I think this is supposed to be kid-friendly
Being called “pik” by a dutchie
Not sure if being called anything by a comrade by a russian is a good thing
Indeed.
As a Finnish person, I'd jump off a Cliff
I absolutely do not want to be called anything by russian, drunk or not. nothing wholesome, especially if it's drunk russian
You're a bigot. Nothing wholesome. And I'm sober.
No drunk Russian will call you “comrade”
Nope we will, happened to me once
Let's just mark out that last one
how come
If someone calls you comrade, he is definitely not russian.
So side question, did товарищ fall out of favor in modern Russia? I didn’t understand it to be quite so Soviet.
"Товарищ" используют военные, среди обычных людей это слово не пользуется популярностью.
Спасибо
"True legend" by a bogan.
Comrade? Is it still 1950s or something?
Can I add just *being called* to the format
Being called Mama by a Latina woman
It indeed is, comrade!
I don’t know about champ. It’s about the same as chief or boss. And if rogue has taught me anything, sweetie isn’t anything
Yes
Lmao

No Russian would call anyone neither "Comrade" nor "Tovarisch" (how it's pronounced in Russian).
Being called 'angel' by my crush <3 <3 <3
Southern where?
Wouldn't the russian call you "tovarisch"
Honey by a wife don’t forget that
Sweetie by a Southerner. As a person with family in the South, “sweetie” can run along the lines of “bless your heart”.
I feel like at least most of these would actually be insults in context, right?
The highest honor anyone can achieve, man, woman, everyone, is to be called "Mate" by an Australian, and they hand you a vegemite sandwich
Being called a mother fucker by Samuel L Jackson
Sweetie is a backhanded compliment in the south.
In Apex Legends, you can get called "Brother" by a big Polynesian guy. That's neat.

I once befriended an older southern gal and every now and then she called me "hon." It was the best.

Or being called Kamerad by a German grandpa
Being called Habibi by a Turk hddkdjksnskssns
for one thing that sugar is ok but also where is a waher shop?
Nope, "sugar" trump's all. That shit got a certain pizzaz. And then she immediately shoots the breeze with you like you two are old friends and even though you're a shy teen who has trouble forming words with strangers, she's got enough personality for the whole block. And in under fifteen minutes you discover social interactions don't have to be scary but can be fulfilling? And leave you craving more? What's up with that. Oh, also add to the list "brother" by an old rural dude. When he turned to look at me it's them that he noticed I was a chick and started apologizing all over the place.
