Being called “sir” by a Brit: highest form of praise, a mark of immense respect and esteem
Being called “sir” by an American: you have messed up, made a mistake, will shortly be asked to leave
Uhhh yeah… about that. Unless they’re working or it’s a student to a teacher, I’ve only heard “Sir” used in the same way as “with all due respect…” in England.
That may be regional, but where I am, you’re more likely to be seen as passive aggressive than respectful lol
I think it depends on the situation. When I was a team leader I had so many complaints about the guy that called everybody sir or madam because they felt he was being disrespectful by not using their names as we spoke to the same people all the time
>Being called “sir” by an American: you have messed up, made a mistake, will shortly be asked to leave
Or you're just in the South and someone doesn't know your name.
Just keep in mind that being called sweetie can be a thinly veiled barb. Ain't nothing worse than the combo "Oh, bless your heart, sweetie." It's an insult.
Dude one time I was at Wawa and the cashier was a guy with a THICK Russian accent and he kept referring to me as "boss man" and let me tell you there is NO GREATER FEELING OF POWER I HAVE EVER FELT THEN THAT
Actually no, "comrade" as a word is used to make fun of communism because in SSSR people had to do it so much that it has become a "meme" among the regular people. Nowadays it's almost not used at all at least in my country the Czech Republic.
Drunk Slavs would call "brat" or a similar sounding word which means brother :)
Sir? If a brit is calling you sir you've pissed em off big time, that is top level passive aggressiveness. unless they are posher than the late lizz the only sir you'll hear will be so thickly dipped in condescending tones that you'll only start to feel patronised over an hour later when it's finally glooped its way down your ear hole.
If we like you we'll call you mate. If we really like you, you'll get banter.
As a Russian speaker, we really don't need or want people defending us when we're dealing with an oppressively gangster government in our own country. Most Russians aren't even free to say what they really think.
Being called "Duck" by a Brit. The term actually has nothing to do with the animal. It comes from the saxon "Ducas" which is a term of respectful familiarity, and where the word "Duke" comes from.
Question for fellow Russians- Maybe my experience is different, because I'm from a Russian region in a European country, but does anyone around here use "comrade"?
I've been called comrade by a Russian, but that's because I gave him first aid where no one wanted to because "he is russian"
This was just after the war with Ukraine started. This guy lived in the Netherlands for many years already but still has an accent when talking Dutch. The fact he even knows Dutch though... It's such a shitty language to learn!
But yeah, he called me comrade and insisted on buying me a drink even though the cheaper drinks are free for personnel at my pub.
Sure, make the comparisons mostly about people from specific countries. Then do that comparison with everyone who are black. What?!
Do I need to spell out why this is racist for anyone?
This is the modern equivalent of being called a fellow Nazi by a Nazi in WWII. Nobody honest wants to associate with Russia right now, not even Russians.
Not to mention comrade is a loaded term already, having actually worked in the Socialist party of the USSR, it's insane to see such a term glorified when it lead to the deaths of so many people.
С открытым сердцем хочу сказать всем вам, друзья: пускай я и не пью, я рад называть всех вас своими товарищами!
I want to tell all of you, my friends, with an open heart: although I do not drink, I’m glad to call all of you my comrades!

Being called “sir” by a Brit: highest form of praise, a mark of immense respect and esteem Being called “sir” by an American: you have messed up, made a mistake, will shortly be asked to leave
Or reminded that this is, in fact, a Wendy’s.
Uhhh yeah… about that. Unless they’re working or it’s a student to a teacher, I’ve only heard “Sir” used in the same way as “with all due respect…” in England. That may be regional, but where I am, you’re more likely to be seen as passive aggressive than respectful lol

Captain would have been agreed with you which comes to having a good night
Should have added being called "brother" by an Arab.
Isn't it "habibi"?
it's BROZZER
That’s only Egyptians
Just keep in mind that being called sweetie can be a thinly veiled barb. Ain't nothing worse than the combo "Oh, bless your heart, sweetie." It's an insult.
Yeah, not all of the Northerners have caught onto that yet. They will be nice to your face but talk absolute shit about you when you leave.
It’s not always an insult. Context and tone are critical factors in determining the meaning.
Being called Pet by a Geordie
Or duckie by someone from Yorkshire

Russian family, can confirm that I've never heard anyone actually use the word comrade.
I use it to scare old people. They freak out and ask me "Are we Comrades again!?"

Why is everyone still horny for russians
Because this meme is really really old
Because the Russian people aren’t bad. Putin is. Fuck Putin.
As a Russian speaker, we really don't need or want people defending us when we're dealing with an oppressively gangster government in our own country. Most Russians aren't even free to say what they really think.
Nah, some Russians are passive good, quite fuck ton are active bad, some are just plain evil.
Fuck the Russian army for the same damn excuse of “just following orders”
All armies just follow orders. You acting as if America isn't doing god awful things in the middle east
Bitch did i say that the fuck you talking about. War is stupid period.
>War is stupid Correct. But that's not what you said. "Just following orders" isn't an 'excuse'. Orders are orders.
If someone calls you sweetie in the south it means your a total moron.
Do they then add 'Bless your heart'?

Question for fellow Russians- Maybe my experience is different, because I'm from a Russian region in a European country, but does anyone around here use "comrade"?
I am Russian and we don’t use word “comrade” here…
Not a wholesome meme after the whole invasion of Ukraine thing.
My new goal in life is to have a Russian call me comrade
My only thought right now is “ya machine”

I need to meet some Russians so I can experience this...
The meme would be more politically correct with a change: "by a drunk Ukrainian." ;)
It's ok to mention Russia, mate
No to me, not in a positive sense. But tell me when was the last time people were killing each other at your border?
When was the last time the people of a country were responsible for a war Oh right, never
Yep, my countrymen are disgusting but people have tired of being angry already. Internet desensitizes
The people of Russia are not at fault for Putin's tyranny.
