Ah, it's very much the 'troops' rather than the howdy part that riles me up. I just feel like I always hear those particular couple of phrasings of it, so wrote it as such (misspelling alright in the process). Howdy I'm fine with, as long as there's no troops involved.

you got it boss!

I don't mind "you got it boss", it's at least enthusiastic. "no problem" often suggests to me there would have been a problem if the person saying it wasn't being gracious

Do Sikh shopkeeps in Massachusetts all say "boss" or was it just the one dude at the one place near where I used to live

‘Boss’ is the 21st century ‘guvnor’ in the UK, particularly in kebab/chip shops.

Boss is also quite popular in Romania.

In France it’s “chef”, which always makes me lol because I’m like no you’re making *me• the kebab 🥙
― L'assie (Euler), Tuesday, 21 May 2019 12:32 (seven years ago)
Heh, you're right, coming at it from an anglophone perspective wherein 'chef' systematically refers to the cook, it can seem a little odd.

i sometimes wonder if those possessed enough of ego and self-importance to third person talk about themselves as a governor or a big yin might be slightly fucking wrong in the heed!

I think that's why I like big man, because I am not a big man.

I've only recently been hipped to the usage of 'pibble' as a cutesy diminutive of 'pit bull' and it just needs to go all the way away forever, pretty much immediately.

'conversate'
― meaulnes, Wednesday, 29 May 2019 15:27 (seven years ago)
I wish "conversate" would catch on more. It fills a need. More convivial than "converse", less frivolous than "chat".
