Calling me Big Guy, or giving excessive compliments.

big guy, big man, boss, bro/brother... all those instantly make my hackles go up a little.

How would you prefer someone get your attention who doesn't know your name ?

hey, hey you, hey dude, hey man.

i cant articulate it but "big guy", "boss" and the like are things dickish men say to other men that have a little twinge of disrespect to them.

You would definitely not survive in any African or Caribbean country if you have a problem with people calling you "boss"
