I personally don't like to be called boss, it implies a power dynamic I'm pretty uncomfortable with, whether intentional or not. That being said I'm not gonna start a fight over it or anything shrugs

Back when I was a manager, the new people and especially drivers coming into the warehouse would call me boss.
They were always told once never to call me boss just call me by my name or call me asshole.
What if its the man in the kebab shop calling you jt?
Hmmm... I must go to the kebab shop and see for myself :D

I would never unknowingly accuse someone of being an oppressor /j (but not really).
Sup, Conrad.
Oy, tumang! Kewe to pensa ere "bosmang"?
God some people HATE being called boss, like someone almost assaulted me at my last one, just slipped out lol. Fuck contractors
I in no way see how calling someone boss would lead to a physical confrontation.
Dude needs to get his shit together. Like a boss.
Next time call him daddy; e.g. “yes, daddy”
Or as they say in Illocos, ma'am/sir.
Tiger.
Champ.
Or go British!
Guv'nor or just plain Guv.
Here in the south we also like to refer to people has hoss. Like boss, it’s a show of respect.
