dawg

Noun

 * 1)  Dude, bud, pal,
 * 1)  Dude, bud, pal,
 * 1)  Dude, bud, pal,

Usage notes
dawg, rather than dog, may be used for one of two reasons:


 * 1) To emphasise dialect. In some North American English dialects, the /ɔ/ sound is strengthened to /ɔə/, which is quite noticeable to North American English speakers who do not speak such a dialect.
 * 2) To distinguish (and emphasise a distinction) between "dog", the animal, and "dawg", the slang word that is a friendly term of address. dog can be used disparagingly in English, and it carries disparaging connotations in many other languages. As such, there is often a desire to distinguish the term of address from the common noun.
