Guys that call other guys "son" are dumb. Do they think that's some sort of " alpha" move by making a grown ass man their lesser, like son to father?
It's their rhetorical method of depicting one person in a story as the soyjak and the other as the chad. Sonjak.
Yes and it has its origins in America in racism. White men would call men of races lower on the hierarchy "son" or "boy" and never acknowledge them as men. It is meant to be emasculating and psychologically dominating. A constant reminder of the "order" of things.
This is of course completely separate from other cultures having a tradition of using family words for non-family members, often as honorifics (like using "uncle" or "auntie" in China to talk to an older person). The "order of things" being reinforced here is just respect for ones elders, which is a fairly common and benign cultural tradition.
mfers think they're Stone Cold Steve Austin or something.
