it's so annoying lmao please stop

edit: people don't really seem to get what i'm referring to.

people will say things like "my guy, you're literally advocating for authoritarian communism"

which is identical to "brother, you're literally advocating for authoritarian communism"

"sure thing, friend."
"I'm not your friend, guy."
"I'm not your guy, pal."
"I'm not your pal, sport."
"I'm not your sport, son."
"I'm not your son, chief."
"I'm not your chief, dude."
"I'm not your dude, bro."
"I'm not your bro, man."
"I'm not your man, ace."

and on and on. had a roommate who taught me this "game", which would be triggered anytime someone referred to the other, absentmindedly, as a term like "buddy". the one who couldn't come up with the next random term immediately or laughed at the others' typically over serious delivery "lost".
