> greeted me in a friendly "hello brother"
Wouldn’t it be amazing if we all greeted each other like this regardless of color, creed, nation, etc? I think I’ll just start doing this - “hello brother!” “Hello sister”
- optimuspaul 6y agoWord. I've been trying to do similar in my life and when I do make the effort to raise myself to the same level as those I am greeting the interaction is so much more fulfilling for us both.
- solotronics 6y agoI like using buddy or ma'am. Everyone can be my buddy until they do some action that proves otherwise.
- Taylor_OD 6y agoThis is my go to as well.
- williamdclt 6y agoNon native. Does ma'am have the same ring as "buddy"? It always sounded somehow deferential to me
- garrettgrimsley 6y agoNo, ma’am is the female equivalent of sir. They’re formal terms, not familiar like “buddy”

- f1refly 6y agoIt's all fun and games until someone is incredibly offended because she actually identifies as a genderfluid demisexual wolf in a human body and you just referred to her as "sister"
- allendoerfer 6y agoNo, it would not be good. There is a difference between brother, best friend, friend, buddy, etc. You can be friendly to people without diminishing what those words actually mean. Not everything has to be "awesome", some things are just great, good or even okay. And that is literally okay.
