    MrsTeal uses "pal" affectionately. That's what 5 years of living in Scotland gets you.

    I tend to stick with "chief". . .








    . . . .or the occasional "horse"

    And if your ever in Morocco or Turkey the folks in the markets be all calling you friend...


    I work with a good many Indians (the sub-continental variety, not the American native :D), and it's only when you mentioned it, I realised how many of them will call me friend. They're genuinely a friendly sort anyway... now it occurs to me, lads from the Middle East, Mauritius - "Hello friend..." :D

    I use this all the time with my kids in a semi jokey manner when they're being cheeky or not listening to me, it's the warning shot before hell breaks loose :D

    Chief always reminds me of when Robin Williams went hard on Matt Damon in Good Will Hunting.

    That might be the most aggressive appellation yet.

    Except for "story,bud" I don't think I've heard pal or bud used affectionately in Ireland.

    Heard an off-duty Garda I know give this reply when someone addressed him as 'Horse' -

    "If there was a tail (tale?) to my butt I'd be a horse".

    Yeah, that one drives me mad but it's not really passive aggressive.

    Fair point. It's more of a standard reply to passive aggressive Facebook updates.

    Good man.

    Said with the right tone and context, basically a way of saying I'm senior to you.

    Absolutely, or "son" to mean "you're only a kid"

    I also get TA-ed at attempts to call me "brother" or variations such as "bro", "bruh", "brah", etc. You wouldn't want me as your brother, "pal". :mad:
