Re: People on Farcaster Calling Me "Ma'am" or "mam"

I am from Boston. 

We call people "Ma'am" for two reasons; 

1.) the lady in question is actually over the age of 80, and we are being polite

2.) we want to say "Calm your tits, you fucking textbook Karen" but we are at work, so we say "Ma'am" super sarcastically instead.


I know it's cultural. I know it's likely a play on "ser", but it always rubs me the wrong way. 🤣

😂 In NY we just call everyone some cuss for equality

Literally that is the context 95% of the time.

I'm always so reflexively offended when someone not-from-Boston calls me ma'am 

It always takes a second to process that they aren't saying "fuck you" 🤣

Digital Media Producer. I like particles and waves too. I like art.

It's true though! I always feel so reflexively insulted and have to checky context 🤣

this hits home 😂 In my area, a thumbs-up after letting someone in traffic translates to, 'You’re right to worship me, mere mortal!'
