Anything goes in Michigan.

The last two aren't really used here.

Guess I'm not your pal, fella.

Good post, mate.

I love that New England doesn't show a preference for any of the choices. My theory: Boston throws off the curve with "asshole" and "fucker" and the data scientists didn't want to cover cursing.

New England always on top, in our own way; confusing to those who aren't from around here.

The top three are used in California.

I mainly stick with Dude and Buddy (Buddy being my go to for strangers "Thanks Buddy")

In my office a few years back I started ironically calling people "Homie" and that overtime morphed into a gender neutral term of endearment we all used for each other.

I really wonder where "Homie" fits into this

In Florida I mainly hear the top 3.
Bottom 2 would probably get an odd look.
That's really interesting I never thought that something as simple as "bro" would be different in different states

Anybody use the word fucker as a term of endearment? "What's up, fucker?"

Ah, you must be from the North East.

[–] Brickhead92@lemmy.world 0 points 1 month ago

We prefer "What's up fuckface?"

Colorado markedly absent as most people polled were likely from elsewhere and as such brought their own vernacular
