Ok, so I just wrote about the conversation I had with a fellow manager who liked to call me “buddy” and “big guy.” I just talked to him again for like, 30 seconds. And in that time he didn’t refer to me as “buddy” or “big guy”, but he worked in several instances of “dude,” “man,” “buckaroo” and even “chap.” I can’t tell if he’s awesome or not. But I think he might be.
