===== 2025-12-26: We should bring back the term "Partner" as a 
form of address ===== 

We should bring back the term "partner" as a friendly/casual way 
to address someone. 

- It's gender-neutral, unlike the common "man", "dude", "brother", 
"son", etc. 
- It doesn't feel like it's being presumptuous about the status of 
a relationship, like with "friend" or "buddy" 
- It doesn't set off people scared of perceived associations with 
the term "comrade" 
- It has the obvious potential of being used with the fun-to-say 
"Howdy, partner!" 
- It can be shortened to "pard" for extra casualness
