Re: "Any Buddy" for "Anybody"

Talk about low hanging fruit! Can’t believe nobuddy’d reported this yet. Very good, Elipsis.
.
Naturally:

hi i told some buddy my password for xbox live and i lost my acount

Great work every buddy can get lots of interesting information, keep on posting this type of brilliant articles. I really like this

Well, no one budged, as per usual at jackpot time – nobuddy wanting to leave

By far the majority of hits seem to be advertent (puns) though, or else attempts at rendering what the author considered sub-standard speech.

Re: "Any Buddy" for "Anybody"

Return tripper, implying a connection that goes beyond just being friends, to getting downright cuddly.

management advice Do your job seriously by applying the rules and regulation without being to much body-body with certain employee and , vice versa, being nasty and unfriendly with other.

political bedfellows It makes sense if you are a libertarian or a Republican to be body-body with Ron Paul but if you claim you are a Democrat and operating as a mole with callas and dishonest intentions, you might as well wear a white mask over your head and join David Duke who shares exactly all of Ron Paul’s views.

more bedfellows Hillary Clinton is a hawk and a warmonger who sides with rogue countries because she gets paid by them. She’s body body with the Saudis

A mole with callas intentions.

Re: "Any Buddy" for "Anybody"

“Buddy-buddy with” meaning “friends with” seems to be American slang from the 1950s: https://books.google.com/ngrams/graph?c … th%3B%2Cc0

1952 is the earliest reference I can find.
