Say "Baz" in Casual Situations
It is important to remember that the term or expression baz is informal.
As a result, consider using it with people you are familiar with or people who are around the same age as you.
If, for example, you are very young and speaking with an older adult whom you do not know, it's likely best to address that person as mesye (sir or mister) or madam (ma'am or madam).
