This is a good point to bring up.

People seem to use different words meaning friend to varying degrees according to how well they know them. Everyone is different though.

For instance, I would use the word "pal" when annoyed with someone, usually i use it sarcastically... "w/e pal..."

If I like the person, you know, say I just have this great interweb vibe with them then I pull out the "buddy" word.

"Dude" is also usually used on my behalf when I may be trying to keep it short with someone, or I am exasperated with them... "alright dude, that's fine."

I like "man" the best though. It can be used in so many ways, also it denotes a more genuine feel to whatever you are expressing to the other person in the game.

"Bro" makes me feel like a fratboy or something. use it rarely.

I used to like to use the word "homie" it was funny sounding to me, but I stopped many years ago. No idea why it just fell out of place I guess.

"hun" is only used when I am on a female halfling or woodelf. Which is never. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]
