In many parts of the country, younger folks likely refer to elders as "sir" or "ma'am." In some parts of the country, you'd damned well better call them "sir" or "ma'am." Part of the "conducting oneself as a lady/gentleman."
Up here, however, they are often considered to be terms of derision, even though not used with THE teenage sarcastic sneer ("Don't you 'ma'am' me!").
We have many different cultures across this United States. You know what. That's a good thing.
