asking for a buddy

    Honestly, I hate when people use the word buddy—whether it's directed at me or not. It's such a pejorative to me.

      I’ve been complaining on here about similar things recently. Unless a dear friend is calling me that I’m taking it as a jab.

        Even then. One of my best friends says buddy and bud to me and pretty much everyone—his other friends, bartenders, servers, anyone—but I still can't stand it. I just don't say anything because I know he means well but, damn, I find it so annoying. Who knows where he picked that shit up.

        I don't know how anyone wouldn't interpret it as an insult, like "boy".
