Nothing condescending about “buddy” when used in a greeting, although apparently in the UK “buddy” means homosexual (and “fag” means cigarette…they’re all mixed up!).

“Bud” is slightly more presumptive. I’d only say this to someone I know well.

“Champ” and “Chief” bug me, as does “guy” (to a lesser extent).

I know a guy who uses the word “partner” when addressing a stranger, salesperson, or waiter.
Whenever I hear him say it, I always think, “WTF?.. did I somehow suddenly end up in the Old West?”


Howdy, Partner!

Guy I went to school with said that too, but he had the southern accent to make it work.

If I call you buddy it’s a term of endearment, whether because you’re my friend, or a stranger who just seems nice enough.

I use howdy as a greeting, what do I win?

When you call somebody you barely know “buddy”, as in “What’s up buddy?”, do you mean it as a subtle disrespect? Chief, big guy, champ etc. I would consider straight up condescending, but buddy I’m not so sure. Does it depend on the situation?[/quote]

Not now chief, I’m in the fuckin zone.

LOL. That’s what I thought this thread was about when I saw the title.

I say, context is everything. “Buddy” in and of itself I wouldn’t consider condescending, but if the tone indicates that, it is something entirely.

Does he say “partner” or “pahtner”? If he called me “pahtner” I’d punch him in the face. Not because I consider it condescending but just because I don’t like the way it sounds.
