Washington and idaho as well apprently.
I am from Seattle.
Anecdotally:
This is correct.
People are absurdly transactional, performative and superficial about relationships and also very anti social compared to basically anywhere else I've ever been in the US.
I knew I liked Seattle for a reason.
... either you enjoy having no friends...
... or you enjoy superficial performative 'relationships' that are all actually adversarial social status jockeying?
It was a joke. I tend to be introverted, and I love the Seattle vibe.

Interesting. Can we have have at least a tiny bit of info how this data came to be?
Not just this one, but all the infographs, maps etc. Always leave entirely open if someone just guessed the data for the lulz.
This makes me a litte sad sometimes
So the map is more accurately titled "How American Twitter users refer..."
"White american male twitter users", according to the last paragraph
I could have not clicked that video. But I did. And I regret it.

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.

I was upset that Kentucky didn't have much coverage, but then I realized that "Hosscat" wasn't one of the choices.
Eastern Pennsylvania apparently has no word for Bros.
It's just a nod and a quickly whispered "Go Birds."

Hypothesis: you can go to the Great lakes region and just make random noises and people will be like "hey, what's up?”.
The large amounts of no-bro-zones scares me.
Been ‘dude’ for me as long as I’ve been alive.
West coast here. There’s also “man” and “guys.” I use those way more than “dude” lol
