    You're not wrong in this instance. "Pal" & "dude" are other common epithets utilised by the passive aggressive individual.

    Ah here.

    I call people buddy or dude all the time. Buddy is for someone you vaguely know, but seems sound; dude is for someone around your age who you might or might not know well.

    "Pal" is definitely passive aggressive, as is "chief", "big man" or "youssir".

    I don't make the rules, I just follow them, youssir.

    In short, I find it patronising.

    Aw, that's a big word. Well done, buddy. :)

    Yeah, generally, if someone calls me 'buddy' or 'pal' I'd be inclined to stick them a headbutt.. I wouldn't like..but I'd be that way inclined..It'd cross my mind like..

    Dude is horrible, please stop using it, not for you but for the people around you that are too embarrassed to tell you how cringeworthy calling someone dude is.

    You’re welcome.

    But they call me dude back. It is an Americanism, of course, you can't say dude in your best Midlands accent, and not be aware of that. It's a bit like people who call their other half Bae. You're being affectionate but slightly ironic

    No?

    Well I tried. Whatever dude :)

    I wouldn’t read too much into it, lad. Be like how that Wibbs dude takes your username and uses its initials when quoting you. No malice meant or implied. I use buddy, dude, and pal all the time, and I’m a dead sound sort of skin.

    I kind of feel like youre reading into this way too much, he likely calls everybody buddy and doesnt actually think youre best buds, he's probably just being friendly. Does he give you any other reason to think that he thinks you are currently or where previously best mates? Like does he message you all the time or keep asking you to meet up? If he's not behaving oddly then I really think its more your problem than his.
    I don't think he think we're best buds. The issue is that it's condescending.

    Buddy isn’t. It’s perfectly normal.

    Genuine question: between the radio issue in work, being annoyed about telling someone the time, HR issues, the 'dude' thing, and so on and so on, would you say you have a lot of conflict and/or confrontation in your life?

    Yes, but I don't mind when John Creedon or Ronan Collins say it. If, however, Ryan Tubridy said it, you can be sure he's talking down to you.

    I've never heard chief.
