> lou, buddies means friends an my friends are on this forum mabye even you, so please dont go out of context its not smart.
manic666,
You wrote,[...buddies means friends...even you...].
I am unsure as to what you are wanting to mean by that and as to what authority, if any, you used to state such.
If you could clarify what you are wanting to mean concerning that, then I could have a better understanding of what you wrote here.
I may be one of the few people here that have a background that gives me an understanding about the word {buddy} that may be unbeknownst to some here. You see, the word is one that comes from aspects of {fraternalism}, {brotherhood}, which is about being the Latin as {fraternus} or {frater}. If we examine your statement,[...buddies mean friends...], I am unsure as to if you are wanting to mean;
A. Any buddy is also a friend?
B. Some friends are also buddies?
C. Some buddies of one could not be a friend of such?
D. Friends are equivalent to buddies?
E. other possibilities that if you say that I {may} be your friend, what is the criteria that you use to determine if a member is a friend or not?
If you could examine the choices and post here what you are wanting to mean by [...friends means buddies...], the word {buddy} is generally accepted to mean one engaged in an action to do the same thing as the others, like drinking buddies, (but I think that there is more to it than that), but then could one be doing the same as another and not be a friend? And if you could post here your authority or rationale for your reply, if any, then I could have the opportunity to respond accordingly.
Lou
