Yeah, thinking about it more, it's not really that weird to call adults of any age "kid", and it's somewhat common when talking about people substantially younger than oneself. it is maybe more common when referring to men though? ๐Ÿค”

it might be old man-coded. "you did good, kid" is a line in a bunch of media and sometimes it's addressing a woman.
