I was in a golf shop and a kid about 18 years old told the guy behind the counter he was paying for a round of golf for himself and one for his “old man”. The counter person told the kid this was a derogotory term that was disrespectful. Is this true? I’ve alwasy heard the term used in a complimentary and loving way. What is the origin of this term? Is it really considered disrespectful and derogetory?

      The father is slightly younger than his son and that counter clerk sounds like an uptight jerkoff.

      The customer and respectful manner but it could be misinterpreted anyways think its usually said loving and respectful manner but it could be misinterpreted anyways think its usually said in as you said loving and he an idiot because he an idiot because that really depends on the term but that.
      An old guy himself by any chance because that really depends on the origin on the origin on the customer and he was he was potentially losing business by questioning the context of the situation obviously.
