I called a client last week to find time to reschedule and he hit me with a "bub," and I'm still reeling

Was it Wolverine?

You mad, bro?

That's an expression I don't like. Waffle added.

I used "bub" last night prefaced with "hubbub" for maximum merrie melodies effect.

Some people pull off brother in earnest but that probably won't ever be me.

I get that a lot, but can never get myself to say it. I use "man" or even "my man" for than one, depending on comfort level.

I call people Brother all the time. Sometimes I don't even use my Hulk Hogan voice.

As a pejorative term for someone who engages in activities that I see no value in and also definitely owns at least two items of technical clothing - NC

Everything else - pure waffles, enough to fill one of those vending machines in Belgium that exclusively sell waffles.

The use of Bro kind of reminds me of buddy and pal. In the beginning of a debate when things are pretty amiable, people are usually "look, buddy...". Once things start getting heated, however, it turns into "listen, pal..."

"bub" as a shorthand for "bubbe" or "bubbeleh" is hard to beat and definitely NC.

"bud", on the other hand...
