bub [ bub ]


noun

unnamed male person: used as a term of address to an unnamed male person, especially one encountered and spoken to casually ( slang )



Is that the commonly known meaning?

no, it's sort of an old fashioned term. you don't hear it too much anymore. it reminds me of slang from the 1950's, really. you could say, "hey! watch it, bub!" if someone bumped into you by accident.
