Now, matekancutlawns wrote: ↑Thu Sep 08, 2022 12:53 pm I absolutely hate this presumptuous, timeless, casual, throwaway word that implies that you’re a friend of the person you target this to. Why does no one get annoyed in the same way as calling a woman ‘love’ or ‘darling’?
It’s seemingly benign, chummy without being intrusive and creates a quick connection. But I find it cheap, disrespectful and lazy.
Bud is too Americanised, pal suggests you about to punch the other person in the face, friend is patronising, geeze is rather blokish but anyone calling me ‘mate’ is asking for a punch on the hooter and strong words. Stop it.
