Nuh-uh, because it would have made me fret whether that was true or not. You did good, kid.

I'm older than you are, Don't call me "kid."

Dude, Buddy, Pal.

But not kid.

You call your little cousins kid.

Or your nieces/nephews/younger siblings.

I'm an old fart with a baby of his own, methinks I've outgrown being called "kid," no?

It's just that the phrase "You did good" is very noir-ish, and nobody in noir says "dude," "buddy," or "pal." They say "kid." Tha's it. No age aspersions, only genre ones. :)

ah, gotcha.

I haven't read any noir in awhile.

Any suggestions on where to start?

Oh goodness, I haven't either. I base my perception off of movies (just like the rest of my life!).
