Alaskans and Hawaiians are incapable of forming bonds of friendship.

People in Washington don't refer to each others.

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

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

Northeast US left off because they just say "Yo asshole"

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 thought America was mostly NTSC

no bro’s in california?
whoever made this hasn’t been to anything out west

So there's PAL, where's NTSC, and SÉCAM?

nice maps, homes!

As a Washingtonian, as usual, I’m glad to barely be represented on a heat map of something.

hey man, where's man at, man?

what happened to man... as in hey man.

Don't forget "guy" and "chief".

Hypothesis: you can go to the Great lakes region and just make random noises and people will be like "hey, what's up?”.

Seattle Freeze is REAL

Suggests that in Georgia, Americans don't refer to their friends

I’m not your bro, pal.

I love that Ohio is purple in all of these

I'm not your pal, guy!

Anything goes in Michigan.

People really say "fella"? It seems centered around Louisiana?

I was upset that Kentucky didn't have much coverage, but then I realized that "Hosscat" wasn't one of the choices.

You can call me Al.

Eastern Pennsylvania apparently has no word for Bros.

What up, fucko?

I'm apparently in the "Pal" region and it's not a word I use often to refer to people, nor have I heard it used often by others either.

We use "Dude" pretty often, but looking at the map you'd think this is a dude desert.

Where is sexy-(square)pants? Man-in-tights? Curly-cock? Dick-broom?

Been ‘dude’ for me as long as I’ve been alive.

I don't know why but "fella" sounds old fashioned to me.

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

There's quite a few terms missing, bitch, homie & n - - - a are the ones that come to mind right away. I'd like to see the demographic distribution of the participants.
