Hello Sir
Some countries say - Mister -
Some countries say - Nothing -
Most countries
The Philippines says,
- Hello Sir -
- Thank You Sir -
- How are you Sir? -
This is a to Sir with Love country, I am amazed at the number of times I hear the word Sir in one day, it like the salute to society of English speaking, how can one country be so full of the word - Sir -
The word - Hey - is high on the salute also, however Sir is the word they use, I am thinking there is a subtle, however distint difference in this society though between the women and the men, it is like a two step jump difference, and the men are losing.
Hello Sir

Sadly, that's just a way most of my countrymen mask their inferiority complex. Filipinos like to be called sir, gives (yes, includng yours truly) a "false" sense of importance. And, it's not sure if it's simply part of our culture of being hospitable.Of course, I could be wrong - I hope.

In India, I always addressed the men as Sir. And I found they did it back. I even addressed servants and low-caste people as Sir. It makes them happy- the big fat white man respects them.
