My job has made me so used to calling people “sir” or “ma’am”, but wtf to I say to an NB?

you works in most situations
comrade
This is genuinely the real answer in English that grammatically works and is broadly understandable. Unfortunately, about a century of anti-communist propaganda has caused some people to see it as having awkward connotations.
idk, a lot of the people I’d use professional address for aren’t my comrades.
But that’s basically how the Soviets used their equivalent for the longest time though, right? Would be cool in an AES society.

I vote for the portmanteau “Sadam”
I vote for pulling that british bullshit where we push it into an abstract version of itself: “Hussein”

I have a teacher friend who uses Mx.
Personally I think that whole class of words should be abolished. They’re feudal holdovers that the bourgeoisie “universalized” as part of bourgeois politeness, I hate them!!
I like when people call me friend instead of sir or ma’am.

The only person I call sir is my boyfriend. And if anyone is calling me “miss”, they better getting down on their fucking knees for me. Calling me miss is a privilege to be earned
How do you pronounce it though? mix?
Mexico
That’s how I’ve heard it irl
Yeah, mix
I agree that they need to be abolished. Getting called sir or madam just feels fucking weird to me.
Yes, exactly.

big dawg
he’ll yeag
Everyone should just go back to having Cowboy nicknames.
“Well there’s One Eyed Pete, cuz he’s got one eye, and Lefty Johnson, cuz he’s left handed, an Big Dumps Steven, cuz he takes massive shits.”
this here’s tiny tony, on account’a he’s a fuckin’ huge unit, it’s ironic see?
Colonel
there have already been some great suggestions but i am proposing “big dawg”
I would be down to have big dawg/blud as preferred pronouns
Can you deliver the letter to big dawg?
Blud wants the letter delivered

Honestly the only thing I can imagine liking in a formal setting is comrade. Mx has always looked and sounded awkward to me. I don’t like referring to people formally in general because I think it’s too impersonal, but if there is a time when it’s appropriate I would prefer comrade.
Obviously that will not manifest in Western society for a long time
Tovarisch sounds cooler.
I like to shorten it to tovvie
Aww that’s cute, I wish I had a GF to call that.
Personally I use “busta” but idk if that’s professional enough for PMC bug eaters
Do you rhyme?
I used to… Before I was captured by T.H.O.D (Tha Horness of Death)
