Bud?
Why does everybody say bud a lot?
shareI think it is something that is part of the Canadian region lexicon of language. People in different areas of the United States and probably Canada use different vocabularies and accents. "Pop" is a good example. I say "soda" or "coke", while Canadians and Midwestern Americans say "pop".
Also, the word "about" is pronounced "ah-boot".
As a Canadian, "ah boot" is not typical. It's one of those things that "every Canadian says!" But it's mostly the western Canadian accents.
Bud, I believe, is a very Atlantic Canadian term. Atlantic Canada is where I'm from and where TPB is filmed. Very common.
It's just an east coast thing, bud.
shareIt's short for 'buddy', a term of endearment, more or less.
We've met before, haven't we?
