Don't 'buddy' me, buddy!

[Absinthe Minded]

I've got a mate who calls me, and others individually, 'fella' which I think sounds a bit poncy. The plural 'fellas', though, is OK.

Yeah, with you on that one; I don't much like 'fella', but I'm OK with 'fellas'.

Good!

And I don't mind you posting in lilac at all!

Just like nearly everybody else on here. *Follows immediately*

I'd quite like there to be a 'People who ignore you' clicky thing in the box that comes up when you click on your name up by the alerts thing.

You're in luck! @CarlP has found it

...you are on the ignore list of four people that you know about.

One of the girls in my department started ranting at being called "love" in Mr Kites(if you remember it)continued on,at every inevitable opportunity,in The Washington,Frog & Parrot,and by the time we got to The Wapentake,it had finally dawned on her that every time I ordered a drink,I was "love" also.Finally,she shut up.Smart girl.....eventually.

Oh lucky man!I found it when,as a mature student,I was looking for pubs where respectable people i.e. non students drank(and therefore "real" conversations)and it was a smashing bolthole...then "they" discovered it.Still went though,and if it got tedious,off I went to the Bath.If youre ever in there again,lift one for Hyslop and his happy days.

Sir/madam vs mate/bud/buddy/mukka/chook/lass etc.

The first two seem too formal/distant/pretentious and the others are somehow more inviting & friendlier.

When I worked in the city, I often shared a lift upto the office with a Canadian chap and he always made the remark "Have a Nice Day". Really got on my nerves, then one year, first day back in the New Year I was determined to get in first with a "Have a Nice Day", only to be out done with his reply "Have a Nice Year"!

Just heard a word in greeting that I haven't heard for some time.Ive always associated it with Carlisle -"Alright Gadge".I think a shortening of "gadgie",which seemingly is in itself a loan word from Romany.Knpwn to any of the rest of you? I'd be interested to know.

From gadgio, meaning non-Romany?

Used in Geordieland too:


2. Geordie saying: gadgie

Non Geordie translation: man, adult male human

Usage: "See that gadgie at the front of the geet walla queue?"

Fact fans: This word was possibly derived from the Romani "gadje" meaning non-Roma or "gorgio" meaning fellow.

Yep, an old codger used to be known as an old gadger in our village

Yes,I think so,I hadn't heard it elsewhere,but it always seemed likely that wherever,over time,there been a gypsy presence ,horse fair's and the like,you might hear it on the local dialect,in whichever country you happened to be in.
