ive never heard "pal" used in a friendly way.

I’m originally from Massachusetts and chose to live in Maine.

I love Maine.

Are you Stacy's mom? I hear you got it going on.

All you need to know

"What's up, man?"

Mr. Green and his wife, and Mr. Withee and his wife, called everyone "fella" back in the day. Green was from The County and Mr. Withee was from Pittsfield.

Growing up in New England (NH mostly, but two years in Maine), I’d say it’s “you guys” when plural (even women), and just “hey” or “dude” for a single person.

This feels the like the inevitable conclusion to one of those "stuck in a dryer" videos.

Aww

I call my kid "dude" and she's a teenage girl.

I don’t like boss ha. I feel like that’s a NY or NJ thing

Not true. OOP does not understand the word "bub". Get him, boys!

Okay okay, semi-joking aside, I've never heard "bub" that much and I've been in Maine for over 20 years. I'm more inclined to hear a simple "Hey there" from older Mainers and "dude" or "bro" from the younger ones.

I get called “Boss” a lot which is weird because I’m the boss of nobody. Maybe it’s just because I’m intimidating or something. Or maybe I’m not intimidating at all and they are calling me boss ironically.

LOL, I think if I did it there, I'd still be single.

I believe the term here is "Bub".

I say guy or bub

bub and guy.

That used to be us too. We stopped pretty quick after a friend's customer bought the same vehicle as me. He almost lost a pretty good account over that.

My son sometimes calls me "dude" and I'm a middle-aged woman.

My friends and I flip each other off if we see each other driving.

Pal? Fighting word.

“What did you just say pal?”

“Listen, pal…”

All of the Northeast collectively gave a sarcastic answer.

Nice!

I try to put first and last names on my contacts so I don't mix people up, but thats pretty hard to confuse

My neighbor is in my phone as "Fuckin Mike" because his standard greeting is the finger

Thanks!!
