(idiomatic, Ireland, Dublin) A greeting; How are you?, What's up?.
A warm, casual term of address for a friend or companion — basically a stretched-out, affectionate spin on 'buddy.' Common in North American informal speech, it's the kind of thing you say to a pal you're genuinely happy to see, carrying a friendlier, softer vibe than a flat 'dude' or 'bro.' Works equally well for greetings, check-ins, or just acknowledging someone's presence in a low-key, good-natured way.
(colloquial, US, Canada) Buddy, friend.
Irish English term for a foolish or dim-witted person, typically used with affectionate exasperation rather than genuine contempt. The word carries a rural, folksy flavour and is more common among older speakers or those invoking a traditional Irish idiom. Generally mild enough to use between friends without causing serious offence.
