My dude, you're objecting to the use of a perfectly ordinary English idiom because it doesn't advance your personal ideology (which few other people in this world share with you.) How do you get through a day without melting down because somebody said "mailman"?

> my dude

This is the problem I'm trying to highlight. For one, I'm not "your dude". I don't even know you like that.

If you want to correct me on the idiom usage, be my guest. 2) Mailman and yes-man aren't even the same logical comparison. Mailman is a profession. Yes men is a label.

The acoustics inside your head must be incredible.
