Add to ORKGbuddy nThis word is not only used to refer to a good friend, but one may hear someone use it when referring to a stranger in passing conversation or when asking a favour from someone, whose name one doesn't know. It may be heard used in many different ways, for exam- ple: "Hey, 'buddy', do you have a match?" or "Buddy across the street helped me fix my car." Heard in St. John's as long as I can remember.See cited quotation.DNE-citUsed I and SupUsed I and Sup1Not usedCard is stamped DNE-cit, but its contents are not used
