This is the DMV (a regional term for DC, MD, and VA). How many midwestern southerners do you see around here? I doubt all those annoying parents who are talking to their special little boy snowflakes, "buddy, hold my hand", is in reference to nomenclature.

Totally. So annoying. Like, because he's a boy he can't be "baby" or "honey," or whatever. Frankly I find the drawing of gender lines with very young kids with behaviors like this to just be exhausting.

Omg, bud is one step away from 'brahhh' to me, in the 'bro' sense.

But why? I went to law school with a "Bud" because he was a II or a Jr. Instead of using the long formal name, he used Bud - as in Bud off the old plant/tree, i.e., the dad or uncle. Common name in the south. When he signed his full name, he added "("Bud")" in the center jur before the surname. Helped the family keep the two Charles straight.

It's short for buddy, not usually a proper nickname. Get a clue.

+1. And agree it's annoying.

Everything is a Fucking transition here.

Transitioning to third grade. Transition from one room to the other room. Fucking goddamn transitions! Just do it people!! NIKE!!

I'm going to transition off the post now. Phew.

Now that we're on the subject..

Thriving.
I don't know how and when it became mandatory to call all children 'thriving'. Her daughter is a thriving first-grader, his son is a thriving freshman. And 9 times out of 10 this descriptor has no relevance whatsoever to the topic discussed.

Why do you give a shit what I call my VAGINA? Ew. And VULVA? I know the difference, but who the hell, besides you says VULVA? OMG.

+1 can't stand the vulva poster(s)

Why not just call it by one of the generally used euphemisms, if you're too prissy to use the correct anatomical terms? That would get more respect and sound less foolish. It's like calling your front door your hallway. Or referring to your lips or mouth as your tongue.

No, its not the same. Since you just bought a dictionary, you might want to look up prescriptive vs. descriptive language. That will help you understand why you sound stupid.

I "totally" "like" hate posters (presumably all bitchy women) whose first resort in any comment on this site, resort to "Defensive some?" "Or, I gather you didn't get into X school?" (No I am a teacher there trying to help another parent make the right decision - i have no axe to grind). "Sour grapes" is another one frequently used. Adds nothing, zero, to the conversion but somehow must do someting for the poster. the "grandma" references are the same (and I would be a grandpa only if older). I don't see how these posts add anything to the conversations.

Prego is a name brand spaghetti sauce. You cannot shame me for referring to it.
