I guess I’d have to vote for bud, as a form of buddy. But I only fondle cows with my “lunatic friends”.

I always just use the word “friend” or sometimes if they’re my female friend, I’ll call them one of my “girlfriends.” I don’t think I really use any of the options you gave.

perhaps you mis-interpreted the question mr. aks, it stated: what do you call your enemies? not: when do you call your enemies?

I’d have to say ‘bud’ just because it’s pretty informal which is how I like to be when I’m comfortable with someone and I don’t sound too obvious. I think the whole dude thing calls too much attention.

i been trying to use “bub” like Logan from X men..thats cool..but everyone always stops my flow by saying “did you say Bud, or Bub?”

kinda ruins it, but i agree

Cause obviously there is a huge difference in if you are saying bud or bub? Next time someone asks just say ‘yes’ and forget about it.
