Why does everyone feel compelled to call people “boss”

[WhatsGoodTy]

Everybody say that shyt even the old heads

 

[ROFL_GUY]

Don't trust any nikkas that call you boss or family

Security @ my building couple black homeless dudes i help out here and there say that shyt it's condescending .

Call em padrone or borchia. Only 1 figured it out...

 

[I Really Mean It]

Always wondered what that was about….

I notice they do that more when they are intimidated by you. Especially if you don’t talk.

I’m saying are people out here relating to this scene and acting on it without knowing

 

[BlackBall]

Boss, chief, king all just endearing ways to say dude or bro. Slave mindset, you fools ain't got no common sense.

Don’t forget “buddy”

Has nothing to do with slavery... its a common way that men speak across multiple languages.

In my native language - I use words like chief, director, general, commander

Not saying it related to actual slavery just a constricted mindset, yes there are a lot words that can be used but to automate to boss was always weird to me

 

[International Playa]

Just a term of endearment amongst men, PAUSE.

I usually use it to encourage someone to provide me a good service, like when I'm buying food or when my barber is giving me a haircut,

you've been living up a rock for 10 years?

Nah I noticed this ongoing 3years. when I was younger I didn’t care about learning humane interactions and the brain, when I studied more on how words really play a part on the subconscious mind. I kind of keep a mental spreadsheet for things I come across that multiple people do in the same period

Interesting how this coincides with the rise of uber and their old "be your own boss" marketing strategy ... so many other people were pushing that phrase and variations of it out there. The word just sounds "cool".

 

[Paper Boi]

might as well call them daddy

Just glad real life isn't fully like Twitter...imagine getting stopped mid convo cuz some fagbag thought this was transphobic or misgendering or some shyt

 

[Louisville Slugz]

It's better than being called nikka

It's better than being called nikka

People have been subbing nikka out for these words too and they still mean nikka when they say it
