Calling people “lad”

[Methuselah]

Can't remember ever being called 'lad'. The most common I get is 'sir'.

Ha ha. Don’t go the aways anymore but Jesus, I knew hundreds of faces in the in the late 80’s and 90’s by the nene lad / mate just the same! More of a facial recognition man, like yourself.

Funny thing is if I ever bump into them now and then, we go straight into a footy conversation regardless of not speaking for years and absolutely no knowledge of our names. So, Lads is ok- Tell Chico …

yeah lad and mate come in handy and are sound .The day someone says ‘alright bro‘ to me at the aways is the day I retire .

Didn't someone on GOT once refer to Nikola Vlasics' sister as 'Lad' in a Twitter exchange? I'm thinking @MikelsGoat for some reason, but I'm probably wrong.

Wonder if her restraining order against him is still valid?

I use pal online to annoy people. It’s the most condescending along with “son” wee throw away term to use pal.

Champ is my favourite.

That's extremely common where I work but I'm way up the coast from you guys. I hate it.

Where I live it's mostly mate and pal (hate this one too).

Alright laaaaaaaaaaaa

I never use it to be honest. I dislike 'lid'. Just a different generation

 

[Gwladys St. Glory]

As a bad Texan, I used to buzz off getting called lad back in the late 90's/early 2k's...once it happened in a non-ironic way. I knew then that I was now "part of the furniture", so to speak.

It should probably be used more preciously than it is these days but that's just my tuppence, as a Yank.
