A week or so ago there was a post about terms guys use to refer to each other. I mentioned how much I hate being called chief. This morning movers came to take some furniture of my mother in law's from our house to other family members. The main guy immediately addressed me as chief.

What if he called you pal? Would fisticuffs ensue?

I'm way too old. A crazy thing happened last night, speaking of fisticuffs. I was at a classic rock (early 70s) concert with my peers. I would say everyone in the place was older than 60. My wife and I were enjoying the show when suddenly two old geezers next to me started throwing punches. These guys were OLD. Chairs went flying, they were yelling loudly, throwing fists and f bombs. It was bizarre and very loud. The band stopped playing for a moment, then soldiered on. Security broke it up, but the instigator got loose and escaped the venue before the police arrived. It was entertaining.

It was disconcerting (no pun intended) at first. We didn't see the humor until later.

😂 Maybe it wasn’t just a way of refer to people, because in this case you really were the chief, at least if it means the same as in Portuguese (boss?).

Oh no. Nobody calls the real chief "chief" around here.

Here we only call the boss 'chief' if we’re really tight with him.

Firemen call their chief chief out of respect. Tone is important. I'm exaggerating. I'll tip the guy.
