americans unironically call other men "sir"
it's literally ingrained in their culture
it's not just people in positions of authority either (though you MUST call police, teachers, father etc. "sir" too, to not do so is a grave insult)
it's even random people they meet on the street. it's managers at their workplace. customers, even. i'm not even kidding
land of the free? land of the groveller

It's just polite. We aren't sawed off assholes like australians are.

>>219744437
Isn't sir a noble title?
Like how knights are called?

Obsessed faggot thread

>>219745811
in other anglo countries. here it is just a thing youre expected to address certain people by in authority and people that youre serving
i think its retarded and cringe but the joy of making cops seethe by referring to them casually doesnt outweigh the risk of getting shot for doing so, so such is life
>>
we say "signore/signora" which originally meant "lord/lady" but whose meaning became "mister" in the bourgeois age

When I went to school we called every teacher "Sir", and it stuck with me for a good couple years afterwards. It's good form, being respectful to someone isn't the same as being a groveller.

It's a concept called respect, fool

you and the Brits call each other mate, in my culture that means someone you have sex with.

>>219746237
Same

It's funny how we never used Dom here except for royals and very high nobility
>>
>>219746603
don (from "dominus") is used for priests here
>>
>>219744437
they really do be like that
>Excuse me, sir? You can't post that here, sir. I'm going to have to ask you to leave!
>>
Yeah, it's kind of weird. Oh, well
>>
Weird as hell to me. Sweden doesn't use honorifics at all. Teacher? First name. Doctor? First name. Leader of the country? First name.
The company boss? First name.
We have names for a reason, kinda weird adding a bunch of crap for no reason.

We call everybody my sir or my lady and I'm pretty sure that's a thing in every culture in the world except anglo saxon culture so idk why you're targeting americans in particular

Krya på dig = get better (health wise). Used when someone is sick.

I have literally never called anyone "sir" in my life. I could be speaking to Karl der Dritte himself and I still wouldn't say it.

>removed to promote equality
here the opposite happened, from the 19th century everybody was treated equally by calling each other my lord, not by calling them mate or buddy as if they were all schoolboys

suddenly polite when you do it huh

when browns do it = hilarious, ridiculous, stupid
