31. Okt. 2023 · Saying "Hey Buddy" is somewhat analogous to using the honorific "-kun" in Japanese. A stiff and over-formal, but less patronizing, way to address a boy in the same context would be to say "Young Sir". The use of the term "buddy" as a descriptive word for someone, rather than as a hailname, is much less problematic and sensitive, however. Used ...
29. Jan. 2014 · I don't know whether most people consider buddy an Americanism here in London but most men my age or younger will commonly use it in place of man or mate, myself included. In any case, connotations or dictionary definitions be damned - I will use buddy, mate, man and dude when speaking to all of my friends, male and female alike. Not because I ...
4. Dez. 2015 · As in "fishing buddy" with whom you only go fishing (but don't invite over). Or Gilligan's "little buddy" status (first mate) relative to the Skipper. Or the "buddy system" for certain activities like swimming, where you're only paired with someone (random) for the duration.

The term 'bum buddies' appears to have been in usage about 10 years earlier and becoming more ubiquitous during the 80's and 90's before being abandoned in the mid 1990's in favor of 'butt buddies'.

"Buddy," by comparison, would not help to convey that stern of a tone. It would convey a ligher tone, as if the explanation were of something light-hearted and not something serious. When my dad called me son, he was reminding me that he was my father, that he was in charge. If he called me buddy, the relationship was more balanced.

However, terms of endearment are practically a requirement of the romance genre: sweetheart, darling, beloved, dushka moya, mi corazon, agape mou, habibti, etc. (also some made-up alien terms); they are, in my experience, almost never capitalized by these publishers.
Buddy is pluralised or not primarily depending on whether more than one buddy has a car that might have been used. Colloquially, car is normally pluralised - largely because no-one wants to get bogged down in the question of whether "one of" identifies a specific buddy, or a specific car (although common, the syntax is inherently ambiguous).
