Anyone hate the word "bud" or "cuz" here in Limerick?

irishvamp90

I got called posh for saying its sounds stupid and even worst when in a put on accent.I hate lads trying to act hard or scummy by going "Well bud"..just say well

aww,nice to cheer ya up vamp

doesnt bother me tbh. Buddy seems to be a bigger one now. Ill take any of them over being called 'kid' by some 9 year old youngfella looking for a fag.

Scumbags use the term 'cuz' between themselves because they are in actual fact cousins. Its the inbreeding you see. Its not just a co-incidence that they all resemble each other.

Cuz, bud, pal, you really couldn't get anything scummier could you?! Get called it a lot in my job but i just ignore it. A workmate of mine used to say "i'm not your cuz" back to them but that would just lead to confrontation so best off just to leave the scummers say what they want...

My mates are my "buds" or "pals".
My brother does, indeed, get answered "Hey bro" when he rings.
I hang around a fair bit with a few of my cousins, and they often get greeted with "Hi, cuz".

Anyone else using any of the above will get a curious look from me, since they're implying familiarity or kinship that doesn't exist.

Chill out cuz!!!

Its "Aboy Da KIDDDDDDD!!!":D

Don't mind any of those terms to be honest. Each city gets its own slang, and lets be honest, you'd have to be a sad ****er to get offended by someone calling you "cuz" or "bud".

"babes" and "hun" are bad too...

That questions not really worth a thought to be honest.

Wahs will be wahs. For me, "cuz" makes me think of the McCarthy-Dundon's youtube video. Aren't the other shower supposed to have made a rap in response? It's all going a bit West Side Story.:)

I didn't call you a sad ****er, I'm referring to these people who have to reply "I'm not your cuz" when somebody says it as a greeting or a laugh. And seriously, whats so scummy about it? Last I checked bud was a word that means friend, and cuz is obviously "cousin" but used in the Limerick sense, its also slang for "friend". What's so wrong with that?

Why not?so if someone calls ye any of them names what is your opinion of it

irishvamp90

Well when your hear scobes roaring it ud see what i mean.When you have scobes coming up to you saying it,it makes a big impression on you.Would you ask in a shop or pub for something and add in bud or cuz?

Why stab city?kinda gives out a bad vibe the name,im sure you a nice guy:)

Bud and cuz are not used solely by scumbags. It's a Limerick colloquialism that I'm not ashamed to use with people that are not necessarily my buddies or my cousins.

"d'you want sauce on your burrrrger?"

TBH i am far more offended when someone calls me a baldy prick than when someone addresses me as cuz or bud. In fact depending on the tone of the person addressing me, I can find it quite charming. Lets face it, there are far worse names you can be called.

I've heard "scobes" saying it yes, but then you'd have to ask whether its just when the "Limerick" accent says it that it sounds scummy to you. Not everyone with a Limerick accent is a scumbag.

And I'd occasionally say "Cheers bud" in either a shop or a pub. As I said, I can't see anything at all wrong with it.

If Dublin media use it without a second thought, why not acceptable for a username?

daca88
