The most glaring thing I saw too. I lived a large chunk of my life in So Cal and everyone was bro.

thanks bro… dude is definitely popular, but bro has been pretty dominant….
i will say it’s gone down ever since “bro” became derogatory… like tech-bro and other bullshit….

I love that New England doesn’t show a preference for any of the choices. My theory: Boston throws off the curve with “asshole” and “fucker” and the data scientists didn’t want to cover cursing.
MedicPigBabySaver@lemmy.world 4 days ago
Masshole.
Ashe@lemmy.blahaj.zone 4 days ago
New England always on top, in our own way; confusing to those who aren’t from around here.

As a Washingtonian, as usual, I’m glad to not be represented on a heat map of something.

Suggests that in Georgia, Americans don’t refer to their friends
AstridWipenaugh@lemmy.world 5 days ago
Having male friends in Georgia is too homoerotic for their sensibilities.
ricecake@sh.itjust.works 5 days ago
Hypothesis: you can go to the Great lakes region and just make random noises and people will be like "hey, what’s up?”.
Stovetop@lemmy.world 5 days ago
I’m apparently in the “Pal” region and it’s not a word I use often to refer to people, nor have I heard it used often by others either.
We use “Dude” pretty often, but looking at the map you’d think this is a dude desert.
don@lemm.ee 5 days ago
Further down the article this screen’s taken from, they show the raw data they got for “dude”, and its usage is pretty much everywhere.

Speaking of brotymology, what’s a gender neutral version of bro/man?
sga@lemmings.world 5 days ago
they are kinda a gender neutral.
Bro is fairly commonly used as gender neutral word.
Man (as in my man) does not have an equivalent (my person does not havve the ring) - but originally, man was the gender neutral term for persons, and we user mer (as in mermaid) / were (as in werewolf) for males. that is how man was used. But that very well could also be due to bias in writing and archiving of stuff, I don not know much about this.
Sergio@slrpnk.net 5 days ago
I use “fam”.

Cuz is acceptable
Mouselemming@sh.itjust.works 5 days ago
I’m old, but my even older inlaws refer to each other affectionately as “person.”
People say “dude” is neutral, but you don’t often see it used when all the dudes are women, and the existence of “dudette” also implies it’s not.
“Friend” maybe but could sound sarcastic.
Come to think of it, all these terms are ripe for sarcastic use. In fact, I’d like to see the map of antibrotymology. Which of the above is used the way Wolverine uses “Bub”?

Chromebby@lemmy.world 5 days ago
West coast here. There’s also “man” and “guy.” I use those way more than “dude” lol

What’s that enormous hole in dude?
kwomp2@sh.itjust.works 5 days ago
Interesting. Can we have have at least a tiny bit of info how this data came to be?
Not just this one, but all the infographs, maps etc. Always leave entirely open if someone just guessed the data for the lulz.
This makes me a litte sad sometimes

TheTechnician27@lemmy.world 5 days ago
So the map is more accurately titled “How American Twitter users refer…”
kwomp2@sh.itjust.works 5 days ago
Thanks. I think it would be a great rule of thumb for lemmy to always include sauce and especially the sidefacts about the data that relativize it. (See other replies)
Less shiny maybe, but more real :)
