The large amounts of no-bro-zones scares me.
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.
Masshole.
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 barely be represented on a heat map of something.
People in Washington don’t refer to each others.
Exclusively as comrade (not pictured)
I don’t know why but “fella” sounds old fashioned to me.
Cause ya ain’t from the south
I’m not from the US either, lol
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
So the map is more accurately titled “How American Twitter users refer…”
“White american male twitter users”, according to the last paragraph
I could have not clicked that video. But I did. And I regret it.
Oh dear God…
I now need eye bleach, for my ears? 🌽

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 :)
Haha, I do quick dumps. Maybe when I have more time, but in the meantime you guys usually pull through digging around, and you usually find some extra cool stuff too. :)
So basically you’re doing the “don’t ask, just say something on the Internet to issue a challenge” method of learning stuff?
Sometimes its a fine line between infographs and memes. Sometimes it isn’t
Sometimes, sometimes I am curious to know more too, sometimes I know things are right, sometimes I know they are wrong but it makes for good conversation… I pick from the meme firehose (feeds) ones I know will make for interesting threads. It is a vibe. It does not take me long to get the memes, so it is a fun passive thing. I do this for fun too. :) It is also why I insist that we use “meme” in the Dawkins sense (see sidebar).
Been ‘dude’ for me as long as I’ve been alive.
I thought America was mostly NTSC
Northeast US left off because they just say “Yo asshole”
It’s how real america emotes
Seattle Freeze is REAL
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.
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.
West coast here. There’s also “man” and “guys.” I use those way more than “dude” lol
ok broseph
no bro’s in california?
whoever made this hasn’t been to anything out westBruh
Touche

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….
Doesn’t seem to count genz online slang
Eastern Pennsylvania apparently has no word for Bros.
It’s just a nod and a quickly whispered “Go Birds.”
Youse guys
He speaks the shibboleth!
“Jawn”
Suggests that in Georgia, Americans don’t refer to their friends
Having male friends in Georgia is too homoerotic for their sensibilities.
