this is Matt, not BUDDY, my buddy...

Hangin' with my friend Matt (run forest), we are leaving, and I say, "ok, buddy you take it easy, have a great one." And Matt looks at me like I have three heads. I know he's thinking, "you bastard, I'm not BUDDY, you've known me for 5 years, my name is Matt, not BUDDY!"

Or worse yet, Scenario number 2, your talking on the phone to a friend and say something like "yeah, buddy it's good to hear from you, what's going on lately?" After the call, the wife will say, "oh, how's BUDDY doing?" I'll look at her like she has three heads and say, "how should I know? I haven't spoken to him in 2 days. I was talking to fortjames." To which she'll answer, "I just heard you call him by name?" with a coy smile she says, "what are you up to?" It doesn't take much to see how this could get ugly quickly.
