Yeah, what a bunch of weirdos.

I wouldn't recommend it in your business dealings. 

[Mr Bread]

Too much, bud.

Word of advice: don't call men "buds"

People that say this irl to contemporaries are rough ridin' puds 100% of the time in my experience.  I haven't met a single person that's worth a crap that says this.  Always rough ridin' dunces.

I'll IRL kick your ass, bud.

no

[star seed 7]

i call anyone i don't know, but am trying to get their attention "bud".

SO eff OFF MR. crap.

[DQ12]

what about if i say, for example, "my best bud, KSC, and I played some 1 on 1 at the rec complex yesterday; he won 21-16."

You would sound like you're trying to be fanning, (which is perfectly ok).

[DQ12]

hey, if nothing else, fanning is a personable dude.

It's rude to call a stranger "bud" however.

Oh i agree completely.  I usually stick with (depending on the age and sex) "sir," "man," "ma'm," or "miss."

Ya, I agree too.

What about the guy at best buy loading your tv into your car, can he be called bud?

You can call anyone anything you want, but I think 'bud' is a little demeaning. 'Man' is a nice informal alternative IMO.

Fits with your recent posting.

i don't care about bud at all, but when people call me sir, i strongly dislike it.

can't not offend everyone, that's what i always say.

[DQ12]

You get offended by "sir"?  That's like, ultimate informal sign of respect.

not offended so much, but i definitely would prefer not to be called sir.  sounds like an old man (like old old, 80+).  prolly need blumps in here to fill in psychological part of this.

[steve dave]

I call literally everyone sir (literally every MALE I guess, even babies)

I used to pretty much every girl stranger "ma'm," but then some said it made them feel old, so for the 40 and under crowd, I go with "miss."

[420seriouscat69]

HEY BUDS!!!

[kim carnes]

it is 100% unacceptable to call someone you don't know "bud"

Good advice, bud.

[puniraptor]

Ruling on Bro? It's really my go to but I felt like bud was a nicer alternative.

[Cartierfor3]

I like when WC08 calls me his bud.

[yoga-like_abana]
