I'm Gen-X. My 13-year-old daughter is under instructions to never call me 'bro' or 'bruh.'

My nephew's do that to my brother-in-law. They also call him 'dude.'

Dude is weird to me, but calling me 'bro' is just wrong. I want to be called Dad or Daddy. She's mostly okay with that.

I am not partial to informal nicknames. If I stand with a group of my male coworkers I usually greet them with “gentleman” or something that. I don’t work with a lot of women but I’m not sure what to say to a group of women. Ladies seems kind of demeaning and gentlewomen sounds weird to me. I usually just go with miss or ma’am.
