    Who came up with the word "pal" - Everyone in playerstalk uses it now

    I hate this word

    Its spreading like a fukkin disease. Even I have probably used it a time or two because it is stuck in my head.

    The first person I remember using this word is either Venditto or the Lakerman.

    Now every single posters uses this word in players talk on a daily basis.

    It is now Opium's new word. Uses it in all his posts. Dunstin also uses the word and zeta and others.

    I've never heard it used in face to face conversation

    At least BBD got the arse and people have stopped calling everyone "sir." That was more annoying.

    Jews began calling Palestinians "pal" long time ago

    It was a backhanded way to be friendly

    I dont think so, as you stated above everyone says it all the time. It wouldn't take long for a new poster to catch on to this phrase.

    It's probably not a new poster and just a new screen name.

    I actually prefer pal to "brother", which is what my ex-boss used to call his male co-workers / friends.

    The only term I got from PT is 'Unreal' or 'Unfukkingreal'.

    I use this is daily life.

    It's annoying but can't get annoying out of your head. I bet half the people who say it on here hate it.

    It is not my "new" word, it has been stuck in my vocabulary (both on & off the chit-chat room) for over a year now.

    I catch myself using it all the time. My wife even notices it. I'll be talking to a vendor over the phone, and I'll say "I appreciate it, pal."
    Or even in person, I'll say "Ok, pal....sounds good."

    I think JJ popularized its use, but I think I mainly picked it up from conversing with Rudy Ruettigger.

    It seems to be a word tossed around with high frequency primarily by sharp, successful gamblers. (this is probably quite telling about those who do not like the word)

    Other than this....not much I can do for 'ya, pal.

    This.

    I've been here about ten minutes and I used it last night. It's not exactly a secret handshake.

    Bronxer picked up the word from some of his clients on craigslist. Hey Pal harder so the word just kind of stuck with Bronxer, god bless the kid.
