7. "Good buddy" is not a pejorative. More importantly...who removed your funny bone?

Was it painful?

"Good buddy" has a standard definition. The term has been around for many decades, and is composed of two common words that have existed for centuries. I was referring to the 1970s use of the term, when CB radios were at the height of popularity. Of COURSE, I was using the term as a throw-back to those days, and I used the correct term, which was not a derogatory word.

"Good buddy"....noun

Wikipedia:

CB slang is the distinctive anti-language, argot or cant which developed among users of Citizens Band radio (CB), especially truck drivers in the United States during the 1970s and early 1980s.[1]

The slang itself is not only cyclical, but also geographical. Through time, certain terms are added or dropped as attitudes toward it change. For example, in the early days of the CB radio, the term "Good Buddy" was widely used.[2]

Good buddy...... In the 1970s, this was the stereotypical term for a friend or acquaintance on the CB airwaves.

"Good buddy" now has an urban dictionary meaning, created by some urbanites. But here in the south, "good buddy" means what it always has. An out of style way to refer to another trucker using a CB radio.

Don't know why you're going on about ham radios, since I didn't mention those at all. A hobby of yours?

Now you've been woman-splained the ins and outs of language. (and yes..."ins and outs" also has an urban dictionary meaning, which has no effect on the real meaning)

When I get a new car, I'll have to buy a good portable CD player, I guess. I don't use mp3 players and such. I'm too old to start over with a new format of music. I've already done it several times...vinyl to 8 tracks to cassettes to CDs. I have too much money invested in CDs. Maybe getting a CD player is an option.
