Do you take offense to being called "bud" or "buddy"?

Polishing off a few afternoon beers with my friend. When we sat down at the bar, he asked for a Mich Ultra. Bartender kind of smirked and said "Sure thing, buddy." My friend got heated and said to not call him that. I asked why and he said he hates getting called bud or buddy by another grown man because it feels condescending and emasculating. He said that's some shite you say to a little kid. Me, I can see where he's coming from, but I don't think it's enough to get angry over. I'd rather be called something like baw, man or dude. What says the OT? Do you take offense to buddy? Are there any other colloquial addresses you can't stand?

I don't usually care, but it is usually being used in a patronizing way.

Should have told the bartender there are men who drink and men who pour.

And then gotten his head chopped off.

Sounds like your 'friend' is a different 5 letter word that starts with b.

If its an actual buddy i don't care if it's a rando i usually find it somewhat off putting but i certainly don't get angry over it or dwell on it.

Had a salesman who when was pissed off would call you “ hand”. He was about 5’8” 350 lbs. He called one of my coworkers “ hand” and it was always said in a condescending way . My coworker answered him as “fat frick “in front of everyone and almost got fired. Everyone laughed though, which made it worse
