Another kind of buddy

[Darla Wells]

When I was a beginning truck driver, I was told not to be saying that someone
was my buddy. When I asked why, I was told that the definition of buddy is
"someone who will go get a blow job and bring you back one." I have no idea
where he got that one, but I heard it a few times. This was in Southern
California in the 80's. I wonder if that comes from a similar place as "fuck
buddy."

frog into a Ph.D and you still have the frog you started with. (Terry Pratchett)
