Sup chief?
It sounds so condescending. I catch myself calling random people I don't know "chief" when I'm out at the bars and they bump into me.
It makes me sound like an asshole.

It's an extremely condescending word. Trust me, try it on someone so you know how it feels to say it.

It really depends on context.
Growing up, it was always a term I associated with respect. My Dad was often referred to as Chief, but he was rated a CW5. It's a term of respect that some of his former soldiers still use for him. As such, I carried that into my adulthood and use it in that vein.
It has gotten me in trouble a few times though - I'll call someone that without thinking about it, meaning respect...and they get all offended. But then again I do work in the Indian Gambling industry.

Is it just me or does this get used way too much lately.
Every "buddy" of mine when we see each other it is a race to see which of us can use it first.
I am starting an anti buddy trend where I will start greeting all of my friends with hey a**hole.
Probably wont go over well but it will make me chuckle.

There's a cultural component to this as well.
You get pretty used to being called Pet Names in the south. Getting called 'sugar' and 'sweetie' by the ladies and 'buddy', 'pal', 'chief' by the guys is pretty normal.
Just like it's normal to here someone address all female strangers as 'maam'. Which will get you stabbed in the north - women up there DO NOT LIKE being called Maam.

I guess that's why I never really thought of it as being insulting. Still don't.
I've lived in the south so much it's just normal. I get called hun and sweetie all the time by women working in various businesses I go to, gas station, grocery store, bank, and so on. Don't run into chief or captain as much but it happens. Never bothered me, but then.....I've never thought someone was being intentionally disrespectful to me. Well, never cared if they were anyway. It's funny, not offensive. Why the hell would I care?

ok i wasn't thinking in the context of legit titles....being in the Marines i heard several enlisted navy addressed as their rank sometimes containing "chief"....ie master chief,snr chief, or just chief
or a chief warrant officer if we just didn't call him "gunner"

The whole living in the south thing, as I said, plays it's part but it would be almost impossible for me, a Navy guy, to think of calling someone Chief (which is an actual title as well as one of respect in the military) as insulting.

There's a cultural component to this as well.
You get pretty used to being called Pet Names in the south. Getting called 'sugar' and 'sweetie' by the ladies and 'buddy', 'pal', 'chief' by the guys is pretty normal.
Just like it's normal to here someone address all female strangers as 'maam'. Which will get you stabbed in the north - women up there DO NOT LIKE being called Maam.
You got that right sweetie

I don't see "chief" as condescending in most uses by people. Condescending people manage to sound condescending no matter WHAT they say. Terms and phrases used by a larger group just as a habit or for use of comfort (as filler, etc) are not condescending by nature.

It really depends on context.
Growing up, it was always a term I associated with respect. My Dad was often referred to as Chief, but he was rated a CW5. It's a term of respect that some of his former soldiers still use for him. As such, I carried that into my adulthood and use it in that vein.
It has gotten me in trouble a few times though - I'll call someone that without thinking about it, meaning respect...and they get all offended. But then again I do work in the Indian Gambling industry.
I think it is more about the tone and facial expression than any particular words. imho 'boy' and 'son' tend towards condescension far more than 'chief' when dealing with random strangers.

I use 'boss' when I want to appear subservient. When I feel like were equals, they get a 'bro' or 'brother'. When I'm feeling cocky or am superior, it's a 'son'.

chief doesnt sound condescending at all.
if you got butthurt over that, i'd start calling you pussy or bitch and see how much more you like that instead.
btw indians mostly do sir. if you ever got an email from one, then this is how it would go:
"HELLO SIR. I AM FROM INDIA. SIR.. SIR. SIR." ad infinitium.
I get called boss by pakistani/afghan gas station clerks.

Being called a pussy or a bitch doesn't do anything to me. I'd laugh at you and say you're mad.
Being called chief is condescending. I find it sounds condescending when I say it for christ sake.

I used to call my brother homey or homeboy and my parents would get mad and say 'dont say that'
After maybe a hundred 'dont say thats', i asked what are you guys talking about? And i came to learn my parents thought i was calling my brother a homo. Language problem.

If you REALLY want to call someone something condescending the next time you're having a debate, try this one:
Son.
Example:
(Tenkly* talking to someone about politics)
Tenkly: I know all about this stuff!
Other guy: Look son, you don't even have the water cleared up behind them big jug ears you've got.
Tenkly: I AIN'T UR DAMNED SON!
