English term or phrase: bub
Wolverine drinks beer, calls people "bub"
and smokes a cigar.

Entendo que "bub" significa "amigo, camarada, cara, etc." No entanto, será que alguém sabe que termo exatamente Wolverine usa nos filmes de X-Men para se referir às outras pessoas?

Thanks in advance!

xará
Explanation:
Hander, meu marido aficcionado pelos X-Men (possui todas as revistas), disse que o termo "bub" sempre foi traduzido como xará nas histórias do Wolverine.

Principalmente pelo personagem ter tendências agressivas e ficaria muito estranho chamar alguém de carinha ou amiguinho.
