Topic | I really hate it when Black people twice my age call me "Sir" |

"Thank you sir" -> "Thank you" Though I do indulge in a few phrases I always tack on "sir"/"ma'am" to just because they're references stuff and it wouldn't work if I dropped the address. I mean, they're pretty odd references that really sound like they could come from anywhere but I've been using them for like 15-20 years so I just keep on. Good day, sir. Thank you, sir. You have a point, sir. --- 53 53 53 53 53 53 53 53 53 53 53 53 53 53 53 53 53 53 53 53 53 53 53 53 53 53 53 53 53 53 53 53 53 53 53 53 53 53 53 53 53 53 53 53 53 53 53 53 53 53 53 53 53 ...
