I thought Fran Dresher's accent was pretty hot when I was a teenager.
When I was a waiter at Pizza Hut I had a Scottish family at one of my tables. They wanted some of the most disgusting crap I ever heard of on a pizza, but that's another story. But the father, a late fiftyish guy, called me over by saying 'boy'. I let it go because I figured he probably had no conception of it being a deragatory term used for black men and it wasn't like I could have done anything, anyway. But even still, without knowing that, it's a pretty crappy thing to call a grown man 'boy'.

I hear you... Regardless that's still unacceptable. I'm white but would still take a deal of offense even without the racial conotation. Fact is, we live in a civilized society where that's frowned apon... If I was called, "boy" that would definitly not have my jumping back to their table anytime soon. When addressing a person you don't know... Service being rendered or not... people should still be addressed with a certain level of respect. "Excuse me" or "When you get a second..." would sirfice. Regardless of where you're from, you're still part of the "western world" and should act accordingly. Anything otherwise shows a gross amount of ignorance. You don't need to be "cultured" to be polite. Period.

Yeah "boy" no matter who it's used on is meant to show the social ladder and "boy" is at the very bottom with "son" and "hey you".....hell sometimes people can use the word "sir" to piss you off. I was always taught to use it in a respectful manner but I guess policemen, restaurant managers, department store clerks, etc like using it to try and make themselves feel big and also to draw attention to themselves.

Funny how different countries say stuff that isnt except able in other ones but are in their own. We can say "Go and get fukked!" which is the same as "no way and people out here dont even blink at it!'
'Get fukked' is said in between the things that other people are telling you and its the same as going Ahh harr or Mmmm yeah.
"Ive just won tattslotto"..."Get fukked!"
See it also means - 'I haven't'....you lucky cunt.
So if you come here and someone says get fukked; smile its a funny couple of words.
Oh and fukk off, means, I dont belive you.
Piss off means piss off.
But .. Boy is never good, 'Hey you' isnt ever good. Son on the other hand can be slightly more endearing if said the right way,Its a term of endearment out here more than not, specially 'old son', son of bitch, well son, is sometimes short for well sunshine,It denotes Im older Ive been here longer; in other words listen up heres a favor im about to impart.
There are some males that Scottish man would have said 'boy' to who would instantly make him their boy.
(Its was coming for him, only a matter of time).
