Obviously wrong
Explanation is not enough
Written in a language I can't understand
Answer is not related to the question

Personally, I don’t hear it a lot. “Bro” is more common.

@skylerhamilton09 I think in very close relationships it can be used in a friendly way, but with strangers it is used with a more derogatory or sarcastic manner... for instance... if you see a comment online that says, "Okay buddy". I would automatically interpret that to mean "Whatever, you're wrong." The person making the comment 1.) does not agree with or believe the person they are commenting to and also 2.) they are using the term "Buddy" with sarcasm - like calling the person a nobody or someone of no importance - just some random stranger with stupid ideas.

I cannot explain the one thing I use every day: Sarcasm!
and you managed to sum it up in one paragraph! Excellent job! I never would have thought to explain it in this way!
