I think I might start calling people "Guy" in casual conversation in the near future. I find inspiration in its deindividualizing nature. It's cold, it's calculating, and it's delightfully arrogant. Further, if used in the proper situations, it can be hilarious. For example, consider George Oscar Bluth when he says, "Why don't you call it a 'GOB,' guy?" discussing a candied apple on the boardwalk. There is no way the line would have been as good if GOB had called the apple merchant "fellow," "friend," or even "muchacho." The dubbing would have been either too familiar or too combattive in nature for it to work.
Long story short, I hope you enjoyed reading this, guy.
