What can or can't the opposite sex address you as?

[Bohol]

Everyone has a set of rules for what they might like to be addressed as by the opposite sex. This is my following.


Can
1.Walal (formal)
2. Aboowe (respectful)
3. Sir (even better)
4.Just my name will do
5.Indr/Inabti (respectful)


Can't
1. Waryaa (rude)
2. Sxb (I am not your mate)
3. Brother (If I am not your brother you have no right to call me as such)



What are your deal breakers?

Isn't brother and aboowe the same thing?

Nope. Aboowe has a sexy ring to it when used by a southern female, but brother is different
(which basically means they are trying to friend zone you).

I think he means English convention versus Somali.

Personally warya is fine. In English I don't have many restrictions. Bae I will never accept for as long as I live. My wife calls me that unironically I might annul on spot and run away into the night.

And lol @ sir.

I'd legit use an impromptu British accent complete with chatting moist vernacular if I was called that by a female. I wouldn't stop till they canceled our friendship

Cousin, if you're not legitimately my cousin. And don't fucking tell other people we're 'cousins'.

Also add abayo/abowe to the list. I'm genuinely curious because I think I've been misusing it.

Yeah I'd imagine aboowe sounds strange coming from non southerners.

....So do you agree with him that abayo is improper unless different intentions are at play?

 

[Mohamud]

Here they use abayo for any woman they meet that isn't actually their sister.

It's hot when a guy calls you that but females shouldn't call themselves that.

True. Better let the guys judge whether one is indho-uroon (eye candy) or not.

 

[Inactive]

They can call me anything that isn't disrespectful, except my birth name. Only my family call me by the birth name. I have a second but primary name everyone else must refer me as.
