Don't 'buddy' me, buddy!

I don't mind Americanism's at all, but this one just doesn't work on any level.

On another note, why the pink font? it's hard to see on my tablet.

Sorry. It's complicated.

 

[Absinthe Minded]

Even worse is "can I grab?". No you effing well can't!!

Indeed. Erm, yes, grab yourself one, but only if I can grab you by the balls and squeeze them really hard, you irritating git.

 

[Absinthe Minded]

Since we are going down this road warrabout John pronounced Jun? A cockaney thing I believe.

'Aye up chicken, how ya doing?'

'Ehh up cocker'

'Now then arr kid'

Besides, what would the distinguished members of this parish use to greet a stranger whose name they didn't know?

 

[slowmotion]

There's a barmaid I quite fancy who always calls me (and probably everyone else) "darling". It always makes me go a little gooey

Be thankful. In Cornwall she'd address you as "my lover", and you would be a gibbering wreck.

Don't mind being called Buddy myself. In fact I use it too. I use 'mate' all the time as people who I ride with on this forum know.
It's funny the little trivial things that get peoples back up. I also can't abide people saying 'Can I get?'

That just about echoes myself. I use bud all the time but only generally with people I know. Mate ditto.
Can I get....doesnt bother me....weve just had relatives from Australia visit, they loved the greeting'.alright duck' etc while in Nottingham, something I still do despite not having lived there 30 plus years.
Personally n othing much bothers me.

Did you ask if they are Buddhists and thus calling you buddy as a sign of one-ness?

An Indian chap I know has a very thick Indian accent and he calls me buddy when we have heated debates. He calls me "buddy" in a real thick accent and it always makes me cringe.

Shudder.
