the only names spouted here are bro, comrade, and dude. chad face
Not to be That Person but if we could maybe as a community try and avoid the very Reddit assumption that everyone is male, that would be awesome ;)
I'd assume that those words are generally meant in a gender neutral way. Maaaybe no bro, but Dude and Comrade are definitely gender neutral. I used to refer to Dudes and Chicks, but chicks got upset at that so now I just go for the Good Burger definition: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xSs7J7O_fl4
That'd be nice. Also, let's ditch the Reddit generalisation that everyone is American!
I think you mean "generalization".
Golly gee don'cha speak 'Murican? :P
Hear, hear!
Yes, please.
Comrade is gender neutral!
Dude is has become also, in the UK at least.
Sorry, I must have missed this one. Was it a question that you discovered was answered in one of the sources?
