My favorite waiter in my neighborhood diner used to call all men King.
It kind of made me feel like a German Shepherd.

I actually find Home Skillet endearing - because it’s so weird / oddball. “Homie” would be irritating - but something as weird and random as home skillet is funny.

The Fraulein daughter of my Boss always calls me “dude”, like she’s trying to be cool with the staff lesbian (presumptive, we don’t all use slang like that) and desperately to obscure the obvious fact that she’s a hopelessly stupid & dorky stroller-roller. She’s also keen on saying “-man” at the end of sentences, presumably in some sort of imitation of the deadbeat college boy who knocked her up the first time.

As a cop, it used to irritate the hell out of me when one of the older maintenance guys would say to me, "hey, good-lookin', whatcha got cookin'?" each and every time he'd see me. He never said this to anyone else. This was in the days when gay cops didn't dare to come out at work, and I had no idea if he was gay or what his problem was, or even if he perceived I was gay.

When you thank someone for a service and they cheerily say, “No Problem!”.
It’s alluding to that perhaps you were a problem that was averted by them and has a negative context perhaps there are more problems ahead.

According to the Urban Dictionary Homeskillet is not an enduring term.
[quote] Home Skillet is a proper noun used to describe a caucasian male from rural areas who thinks he posses the same street cred as an afro-american from the "hood". This individual may be seen wearing a wave cap and a flat billed hat. The subject may also be witnessed wearing Urban apparel, gold chains, and talking in Eubonics. This term is said to have been originated in Southwestern Kansas by Mr. J. L. Wiser whilst making fun of said individual "homeskillet". AKA: Wigger
