"Morning buddy!" "No" Okay then.

As someone currently experiencing a very severe case of the Mondays, if someone morning buddy'd me they'd be wishing it was Tuesday already.

Good Morning, See you next Tuesday.

Only thing worse than 'buddy' is 'champ'.

'Pal' is up there, but that's usually confrontational.

Calling someone buddy is a cardinal sin of socialising

Champ is the worst thing you can call and Australian. Call me a cunt any day of the week, you call me Champ and it's over

@Baku @LowExperience2368

No it's not.
It's prison slang.
Largely popularised by the fantastic Aussie crime series "Mr.Inbetween"

So unless you have associates who have been to prison...or fedora wearing "aaakshually..." mates....you can call folks Champ all you want...

...Champ.
