Our new Indie Games subforum is now open for business in G&T. Go and check it out, you might land a code for a free game. If you're developing an indie game and want to post about it, follow these directions. If you don't, he'll break your legs! Hahaha! Seriously though.
Our rules have been updated and given their own forum. Go and look at them! They are nice, and there may be new ones that you didn't know about! Hooray for rules! Hooray for The System! Hooray for Conforming!

    Now I am listening to Silverchair. I miss those little rascals. I assume they all died in a freak accident of some kind after their second album, and will forever be awesome.

    Also there is an Aus pax guys, huh?

    They were doin' stuff recently for a bit. Well, I say recently; like, 2007 or 2008.

    I tell you a recent Australianism I hate, when people call you "Boss". Like at fish and chips shops and such, they'll say "what can I get you boss?"

    It makes me uncomfortable, like they're being sarcastic or something.

    Also im not sure this is only in Australia

    Penn Jillette calls everyone boss. I hung around after their show in Vegas recently and whilst waiting for my turn to get his autograph and a picture heard him address everyone with "How's it going, boss?"

    It was super-irritating.

    One girl I work with calls her head of department 'boss', usually when she's acceding to a request. Like "I'll be right on that, boss."

    It bugs me, don't know if that's because it's obsequious or vaguely creepy. But it definitely conflicts with the usual academic pretense of scholarly egalitarianism.

    On the plus side, in Aus, you seem to hardly ever hear people in service call customers 'sir'. I got away with working in a bar for 6 months and never even saying that ever. I think I once or twice said 'ma'am', but apart from that, yeah.

    I've been called all sorts of things by bartenders, but never 'ma'am'. I think when that happens I'll know I've hit 50.

    English bartenders say things like "What can I getcha, gorgeous?" which makes me come over all giggly.

    we did an awkward hug

    not like regular, going on too long awkward, but like, we were trying to make right angles with our arms and interlock them or something?

    also you spoke in my voice

    if they are very close friends you can move on to Mr/Ms. [Last Name]

    I was only saying ma'am to get someone to leave. I wouldn't really do it to anyone else.

    I use "Hon" and "Dear" a lot if they are my age or younger. "Ma'am" if they are older.

    Just how I was raised.

    I tend to call people sir, ma'am, or don't use a title. I don't mind if people call me boss/champ/sir/etc.

    'Hun' or 'darling' seems like it offend some people. I've never even considered calling anyone that.

    Look at me. Look at me. Look at how large the monster inside me has become.

    I always figure if I can do something different and it takes almost no effort on my part (not calling someone hun, for example) and it makes someone else not get pissy, I will at least give it a whirl.
