Jesus, how many posts in this thread do you make in a given day?
 

put yr money where yr mouth is, chief. :D

How about a hissy fit instead? How much is that worth in tickets?

that's worth about one cancelled ticket on the LIRR.

But I got pyrotechnics and shit. A giant car-eating robot dinosaur? What if I threw in a guitar solo and a celebrity guest cameo?

on account of the pyrotechnics, i'll throw in these bon jovi tickets.... but that's cause i'm generous.

somebody just got chiefed.

I hate when that happens.

to anybody? ...or just you, chief?

Ouch!
Now I've been chiefed!

hey chiefs, how ya doin'?

no no no.

it doesn't work like that.

you can't multi-chief people.

beyond that, you have to use it at the end, for more sting, chief.

No one has successfully pulled off the mythical multichief.

aw, eck. i did not know about that, chief.

This thread is the wrong place to talk to Jesus.

hahahahahahaha...

...chief, hahahahahaha.

that's no big deal there, guy.


the rest of you chiefs can just return to your porch rockers and resume whittling.


















that's right. you heard me, chief.

you really are a pro at this, champ.



no whammies no whammies no whammies...


STOP!


oooh no. a whammy. :(

howdy chiefs!
hehe, how yew skeeters lik my new salutation? hehe
go ta go poop da fuzzy butted, now. lawd hope me.
y'all tekk crr

Don't stress it, kiddo.

Ooh, "guy" is so much more isidious than "chief". Nobody better mess with you, boss.

no no no.

that only works if you are about 10 years older than the one you are kiddo'ing.

they don't make people 10 years older than me. well....other than GMKU.

lol.





you guy.

it's different.

"guy" is very dicey. it can go both ways, and you run the risk of sounding like a cracker when you use it.

example: cracker imo.



the implied disdain that comes with "chief" is subtle enough that uneducated ears often don't know that they just got dissed.

I hear ya, big shooter.

I find someone younger calling me kiddo more offensive than some geezer. Like I want to smack that little uppity prick, etc.

If someone called me kiddo, I would wonder if they had vision issues preventing them from seeing the grey in my hair.

Okay, sport. Buddy. Ace.

I had an old boss who would call you "Harvey" or "Harv" if he didn't know what your name was.

No....

You.


Really...
You.
You're too much.
*winks*







I love this guy.

That just sounds reasonable to me. There needs to be more Harveys in the world. I wish I knew a Harvey.

I've pretty much said all of this before, but in case you missed it:

see alsos:


sport / champ - most often used against children. denotes immaturity.

buddy / pal - says "yr not my friend, asshole" (but in a nicer way).

ace / professor - implies lack of skill and/or intelligence. using "genius" is too much though.


the goal is to be subtle. mastering the art of the stealth-dis is a lifelong journey.

CHIEF is the perfect catch-all. the implication is that they aren't the chief of anything.

"let's go, chief," old floatingslowly said. then he gave me a big shove with his crumby hand. i damn near fell over on my can - he was a huge sonuvabitch. the next thing i knew, he and old pbradley were both in the room. they acted like they owned the damn place. old pbradley sat down on the window sill. old floatingslowly sat down in the big chair and loosened his collar and all - he was wearing this elevator operator's uniform. boy, was i nervous.

"all right, chief, let's have it. i gotta get back to work."
"i already gave pbradley the five bucks -"
"cut the the crap, now. let's have it.
"why should i give her another five bucks?" i said. my voice was cracking all over the place. "you're trying to chisel me."

you worked in a newspaper in the 30's?

The newspaper industry was solvent back then.

Wait, did you just call me a chick? Think again, professor.

You sunbathe?

Are you fucking crazy?
The sun is my mortal enemy.

salamander?
