ain't your buddy, pal!

Northeast US left off because they just say "Yo asshole"
It's how real america emotes
Anybody use the word fucker as a term of endearment? "What's up, fucker?"
Ah, you must be from the North East.
Or south Florida
I'm an anomaly. I've lived almost everywhere.
We prefer "What's up fuckface?"
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.
Masshole.
New England always on top, in our own way; confusing to those who aren't from around here.
So there's PAL, where's NTSC, and SÉCAM?
angry analogue arrow up depress
Don't forget "guy" and "chief".
they forgor 💀
Hypothesis: you can go to the Great lakes region and just make random noises and people will be like "hey, what's up?”.
Suggests that in Georgia, Americans don't refer to their friends
Having male friends in Georgia is too homoerotic for their sensibilities.
Anything goes in Michigan.
The last two aren't really used here.
Guess I'm not your pal, fella.
People really say "fella"? It seems centered around Louisiana?
You can call me Al.
What up, fucko?
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
I love that Ohio is purple in all of these
My area has some color in every one of these, lol.
And mine has none for any of them... Sir
That sucks, my acquaintance.
In Florida I mainly hear the top 3.
Bottom 2 would probably get an odd look.
That's really interesting I never thought that something as simple as "bro" would be different in different states
Colorado markedly absent as most people polled were likely from elsewhere and as such brought their own vernacular
