tomburras 2,721 Posted November 18, 2020 Report Share Posted November 18, 2020 Its annoying been called lad, repeatedly by someone who is only 10 years older than you when their input into the situation is pathetic and making things worse is annoying. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I used to say 'piratical' sayings/expressions quite regularly lol. Did a few people's heads in lol. Didn't get a nickname for it though. Just told 'for fucks sake give it a rest'. I was quite jolly about it though 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Arry 18,610 Posted November 18, 2020 Report Share Posted November 18, 2020 The one my Mrs uses is "Did you not" I really don't like it and don't know why really. Her parents were from Stockport so must be from up that way. Cheers Arry Quote Link to post Share on other sites

WILF 44,329 Posted November 18, 2020 Report Share Posted November 18, 2020 Depending on the situation I used to call strangers “sir” quiet a lot, especially older men. If it turned into a more casual situation and it warranted it then the normal everyday “mate” is what I used. Older travelling men I call “Uncle” if we meet and I don’t know them. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I love the idea of calling people 'sir' in a respectful gentlemanly intent. Same as saying 'Mr Smith' or whatever until told to refer to a person by their first name. Folks in service professions just do it naturally. It's just so alien to me it'd come off disrespectful. Makes me feel a bit awkward when in that sort of environment tbh. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I've actually been told off by someone for calling them sir Quote Link to post Share on other sites
