What's with people calling you "Chief" ?

[ysr_racer]

OK Chief, sure thing Chief, you got it Chief.

I always reply, "Thanks Indian"

So when they call me "Chief" do they really mean a-hole?

[pnoon]

Yep. ;)

[ktblunden]

Yeah, that's pretty much retail shorthand for a$$hole.

[jluck]

I say it to my boys sometimes....maybe I should stop.:hm

I always reply and make sure to use Tiger/Sport/Champ. They tend to not like that response :)

[Adriftpanda]

From now on I will call everyone chief on this board. Thanks!

I call my boss "Chief", because...well, he's a Chief.

Got that, Spunky? :)

Nope, can't think of a better boss, Sparky.

That's good to know, pilgrim.

Is your boss in the Navy?

[68TriShield]

That would be Police Chief partner :D

I can think of a few things to call you... DBag!!!:rolleyes:

[Hooligan]

Been called that quite a bit as working in a warehouse youu get many different contractors coming in. I always get called "boss" by this old Russian guy.

[xFreebirdx]

I call people "Bubby"........when I can't remember their name. lol ;)

[maninblack]

Cheesedick is my old stand by. Or asshat.

[MajorCaptSilly]

One of my vendors constantly calls me buddy. When he does use my name, he calls me Chris or Curtis. My name is Scott. Sometimes I reply to his too-long ramblings with "Nice review". When he says excuse me? or what?, I say that I didn't say anything. Then I get a sandwich.

[Remo]

My old standby is "Tool"

He obviously missed the memo where it specifically said to address you as "Bwana," or "Your Royal Skleeness."

[landhoney]

I use 'cowboy', when random people(guys) are being dick-ish.

I also use it when I really like you as well though, like when I see an old friend after a long while, "hey there cowboy!"

[688sonarmen]

One track mind here:r

[jjirons69]

Porkchop is a good one - "How's it going, Porkchop?" Sorta rolls of the tongue.

Then there's the lovable, "Buckaroo."

[shilala]

I seldom call anyone by their name, but that's only because I can't remember it. If I have five minutes to come up with your name, I'll get it. Time constraints being what they are in the world today, I'll just call you whatever comes to mind. I've recently taken to calling the sprinkler guy potatacawk, for example.
I had no idea "chief" was a retail name for asshole. Chiefy Dahrouge was a guy from way back in kid-dom who sold firecrackers to us kids from his soda-fountain store. He was a good old dude, we all loved him and looked after him. I continued to look after him while he rooted in the park dumpsters for soda cans. He was a hometown institution. He called everyone "chief". He called my Dad chief when he was a kid, and my grandpa before him. I didn't think he meant it in a bad way, but it kinda adds up.
You guys have completely broken my heart. I hope you're happy with yourselves, Chief.

[Don Fernando]

yes they do Chief :D

[hotreds]

Babe Ruth called everybody "keed"(kid) because he couldn't remember names. I just use "tovorisch"- "comrade" in Russian.

[GoatLocker]

I'm fine with people calling me Chief, or Master Chief, just don't shorten it to "Master" or call me "Sir". :-)

That's good Hoss. My bosses are hit or miss.

[chaase321]

They call you chief for one reason and one reason only....if they used a-hole too many people would turn around, knowing that you are the chief a-hole they just shorten it so you know when you're being talked to!

[MajorCaptSilly]

I have this other guy that calls me "Gary the Tux Shop Guy" all the time. His ears have perfect symmetry.

This puts a whole new dynamic on The Beverly Hillbillies, Ms. Hathaway must have really felt repressed by Mr. Drysdale...

When someone calls me chief or I hear it.. I can't help but to think of Dane Cook.

3:45 starts it, but at 1:42 he starts the story.

Hmmm, my job title contains "Chief" in the sense of numero uno and a couple of my guys call me Chief. After reading this, I'll never again be sure if they call me Chief because of my job title or because I'm an a-hole (yeah, could be both.). Thanks a lot for planting this seed in my mind.:sh
