No, but "bro" might be.

[/ QUOTE ]

Hmmmm.... I might be a hypersensitive Internets nerb. I'm always bothered when people call be dude. I don't mind bro though. I always call people bro. Specifically because I don't want to disrespect them by calling them dude.

[/ QUOTE ]

Dude, don't be so sensitive, bro.

Hm - I think "Chief" would fall between "Champ" and "Ace".

Bro - moderately condescending, If someone says "like" multiple times in the same sentence I usually respond with an "Alright, bro"

[/ QUOTE ]

I assume you mean "bro" is condescending when addressing a stranger/very casual acquaintance. I use "bro" all the time with good friends. I.E. "I'll talk to you later bro" at the end of a conversation.

That might be pretty close to correct. Gets dicey in the bottom-half IMO.

use dude all the time. Had a guy call me slick one time. Sounds kinda smooth, but I think he was trying to start a fight with me.
