Addressing a character as 'son'
If a character in my book addresses someone as 'son' even though the person isn't related as in: "Say, what’s your name, son?” Will this confuse readers whose first language is not English?
I ask because I get more and more readers throughout the world and I try to make my writing as understandable as possible. At the same time, slang adds a flavor to characters if done in moderation.
