Someone I live with insists on calling me “bro” and “dude”, despite my repeated pleas for cessation, citing ideolect as a defence.
I get that “bro” and “dude” are part of their vocabulary, but it hurts. Am I in the wrong here?
P.S. Is this the right community for this kind of question?


Calling anyone anything they have told you makes them uncomfortable is a statement of how much you value their discomfort.
Your housemate is telling you how much they value your discomfort.
That’s… concerning. Well, I’m already planning to relocate, so that issue will basically resolve on its own.
