The Expanse

[Drunk Monk]

I've adopted a new affectation (as if I don't have enough of those already) - calling peeps 'bossmang'.  I generally will call peeps in the service industry 'boss'.  It's something I picked up in China.  You can call any service provider - taxi driver, waitperson, so many petty bureaucrats that impede your progress - 'shifu'.  It's courteous.  For me personally, it also devalues the term 'boss' a bit, which I'm inclined to do because my current boss is like two decades younger than me and often plays the punk blue-blood card (by his own admonition).  

At least I'm not saying 'ke' all the time.  Not yet at least.  I blame my Expanse mug.
