    Things along these lines are usually said as a kind of show of idk a good word for it, almost like dominance? usually by older men or men who are trying to show in some kind of way that they're the ones who demand respect/top of the food chain. It's used passive aggressively and to like get under the other persons skin and say "I am the superior here" bc these terms are usually said to young boys.

    It's such a weird thing that many men will do and it stems entirely from toxic masculinity and I've only seen it just pop up with a few tiktoks kinda making jokes about it
