The top three are used in California.

I mainly stick with Dude and Buddy (Buddy being my go to for strangers "Thanks Buddy")

In my office a few years back I started ironically calling people "Homie" and that overtime morphed into a gender neutral term of endearment we all used for each other.

I really wonder where "Homie" fits into this

West coast here. There’s also “man” and “guys.” I use those way more than “dude” lol

The large amounts of no-bro-zones scares me.

Mid Atlantic region just doesn’t like anyone.

[–] RebekahWSD@lemmy.world 4 points 5 days ago

We do not. So that is accurate!

In Florida I mainly hear the top 3.
Bottom 2 would probably get an odd look.
That's really interesting I never thought that something as simple as "bro" would be different in different states

The only thing this proves is that us here in the PNW truly do have less friends than the rest of our country men.

[–] match@pawb.social 4 points 6 days ago

but it's made up for with the greater PNW polycule
