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.  ;)

LOL....nice!!!!!!!!!

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 ::)





Melting outside the Getbig relm, ehhh..... Chief.......

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.

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.

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 >:(
