Alaskans and Hawaiians are incapable of forming bonds of friendship.

Interesting. Can we have have at least a tiny bit of info how this data came to be?

Not just this one, but all the infographs, maps etc. Always leave entirely open if someone just guessed the data for the lulz.

This makes me a litte sad sometimes

People in Washington don't refer to each others.

I thought America was mostly NTSC

nice maps, homes!

what happened to man... as in hey man.

Seattle Freeze is REAL

no bro’s in california?
whoever made this hasn’t been to anything out west

As a Washingtonian, as usual, I’m glad to barely be represented on a heat map of something.

I’m not your bro, pal.

Northeast US left off because they just say "Yo asshole"

Anybody use the word fucker as a term of endearment? "What's up, fucker?"

I love that New England doesn't show a preference for any of the choices. My theory: Boston throws off the curve with "asshole" and "fucker" and the data scientists didn't want to cover cursing.

So there's PAL, where's NTSC, and SÉCAM?

Eastern Pennsylvania apparently has no word for Bros.

I'm apparently in the "Pal" region and it's not a word I use often to refer to people, nor have I heard it used often by others either.

We use "Dude" pretty often, but looking at the map you'd think this is a dude desert.

Hypothesis: you can go to the Great lakes region and just make random noises and people will be like "hey, what's up?”.

Don't forget "guy" and "chief".

Suggests that in Georgia, Americans don't refer to their friends

West coast here. There’s also “man” and “guys.” I use those way more than “dude” lol

The large amounts of no-bro-zones scares me.

I'm not your pal, guy!

People in Georgia and Washington State apparently don't have friends.

Been ‘dude’ for me as long as I’ve been alive.

I don't know why but "fella" sounds old fashioned to me.

People really say "fella"? It seems centered around Louisiana?

You can call me Al.
