Bugalugs

An Australian term of endearment, similar to "Mate" but usually used in a slightly more patronising tone and with less immediate masculine connotations.

A good example is a parent describing a son or daughter, or an older person describing a young person.

The term is usually used playfully.

"G'day, John, you couldn't keep an eye on Bugalugs over here while I get something out of my car could you?"
