Ask the Welsh or the Northern Coal-miners, its their word. Perhaps it has something to do with sheep?

 

[bitslice]

Ok so this word is being used quiet casually lately..

*quite

If you are going to complain about American English, please get the original version correct

At work, all the older people called everyone 'bud'.

Baader-Meinhof phenomenon. Probably that.

Dude has died down quite a bit.

 

[bitslice]

Dude has died down quite a bit.

I still use 'dude',
In an ironic hipster way of course.

If you could see me then you'd know why it's ironic

My mate calls everyone 'Shag' for some reason...

 

[Tachyon]

The only person I ever knew to say bud was a welsh workmate of mine but thats going back a fair while so it's nothing new. It seems to be all mate in this part of the world.

I use a broad array, but never "mate" or "bud" or "dog". I hate those.

Ones I use:

Talking to a Hispanic: mang or holmes i.e. "sup mang".

White people and Asians: homeslice, homie, duder, bro, dude, guy.

Elderly white people: "boss" or "chief".

People of color (I'm partially of color myself): cuz, bro or ***.

British people: "guvnor".

Candians: guy.
