Wouldnt you get annoyed if somebody said "what's going on Boss/Chief" @ the gym? I'd feel disrespected, last time i remember a BOSS/CHIEF was @ work. Last thing i want is being referred as to "Mr.Big Shot" aka BOSS?CHIEF?
How would you feel is somebody called you Boss/Chief @ the gym? Or am i just over tensing and dont play with no bullshyt ::)

you sound like an uptight guy. you should visit a massage parlor. ask for a happy ending.

haha nah bro i'm cool, smoke/drink/lift heavy weights makes me even more laid back. If i said "what's up BOSS?" you wouldnt feel like i'm being sarcastic like you're "mr.man"?

Everyone I know has a nickname. Bigger fish to fry than worrying about something like that.

boss/chief/big guy are often used to show deference - you're telling the guy that you're honored to be a guest in his dojo. the reverse is when you see ppl calling everyone 'son' or 'kid' - they are attempting to take a dominant role.
to call someone boss/chief casually just tells them you're not there to take over the room, that they can keep the alpha male status, you're just there to catch a workout.

Hmm i guess, what about the tone somebody says it though?? What about that, i should still let it slide ::)

Better that if someone came up to you and said "Hay girl" at the gym when your a guy.

I can't remember hisname but from what I heard he is still arond at the gym. Chief still works the front desk at World Gym. Has been since the day it opened. I know others know who I am talking about but I can't think right now. He and Eddie has been there forever.

do they actually know your name? boss is definitely not a big deal, but i could see how chief would get annoying. maybe they call you boss since you're so bossy?
anyway, i'd take it easy tiger.
its not like its the end of the world bro.

SLICK also works at times like that. "Slick, can I get a gatorade please", has that connotation that the kid just isn't doing his job.

maybe when it's 2-3 kids in the same group. there are a few strong guys, but since it's in florida, and the labor force is so dilapitated, you see the same thing with the kids as you do with their parents. 4 sets chest, 4 sets db curls, then cardio where they can see girls.
the back machines, squat racks, etc are typically empty. cables are always full - kids can't do enough bicep cable curls. you rarely see guys going heavy or training long there.

take it easy boss,if this is realy on your mind you are the kinda person looking for a fight.take it as a sign of respect.
if someone calls you boss or chief maybe they are in some way in awe of your size whats your stats

Hey Big Guy, using the chief/boss address is the old over/under acknowledgement. On the one hand, they are signifying their (your) importance while also tacitly taking you out at the knees with sarcasm. Wouldn't take that if I were you, Chief. ;)

Melting outside the Getbig relm, ehhh..... Chief.......
-
I say Boss all the time. Most all the people here do also. Same thing with kid and guy........ Must be a Boston thing.

Onlyme you must mean Zabo- the one and only chief.

those bastards have yet to approve me. don't tell me i am blacklisted on poker boards?

your rep has moved to the poker boards---I will send you some of the stuff he says---people on here would love it---"I am 6 foot 5 and 240, I would crush avesher" and another gem "I am abrasive because it's fun and I can be." The poker board can't handle him, but I would love to get him on this board. He would run to hs mommy once you and sarcasm and everyone else got to him.
-
Dont put up with them calling you boss or especially chief. Them's some fighting words, I would smash the fu*kers face in for that.
-
good thing about being australian is you call everybody mate... including the girls
-
The context and the tone of voice can make anything sound disrespectful and annoying. If you feel like the person saying it is being scarcastic or just an asshole, your insticts are probably right.
-

Yes Zabo. Thanks, I knew someone had to know him he is a legend.

boss/chief/big guy are often used to show deference - you're telling the guy that you're honored to be a guest in his dojo. the reverse is when you see ppl calling everyone 'son' or 'kid' - they are attempting to take a dominant role.
to call someone boss/chief casually just tells them you're not there to take over the room, that they can keep the alpha male status, you're just there to catch a workout.
Yeah, I mean I call people boss/chief all the time, in a respectful fashion, with the vaguely modest intentions described above. Does this mean they are secretly taking offence at my chyoice of words? I hope not !! :P

Well you probably used it in a good tone, came to think about this prick brazilian UPS guy walked in the other day in our store cracking stupid jokes. And this guy had the nerver to ask "oh BOSS how much does this shirt cost?" And the tone wasnt all that nice either man, let him try that next time and i'll bang him over the head >:(
