One of the guys

Anybody who uses the word “guy” is a monster as far as I’m concerned — it’s the reigning champion of pejorative terms that don’t involve vulgarities. In fact, if I had a choice, I think I’d rather be called a “cockbag” or “ass clown” before the dreaded “guy.” There’s something so inherently condescending about it, anybody who stamps an insult with it is justifiably strangleable. Which happens to be a word I just made up. It means “made for, or at least asking for, being strangled,” in case that wasn’t obvious.
Other generic slang terms for “fellow” that have, over time, revealed their uglier intentions:
Chief
Champ
Kid
Buddy
Sir
Yes, even “sir,” when used with the appropriate dose of sarcasm, can be downright infuriating. Keep these in mind, and happy belittling!
I used to call guys ‘guy’ for a very long time. Oops!!
