Bud Light

Doesn’t ‘Bud’ mean:

Friend; chum. Used as a form of familiar address, especially for a man or boy.

So is Bud ‘light’, light in the loafers?

Or a male beer, not yet trans’d.

Or a female beer, declaring as male?

“Doesn’t ‘Bud’ mean:

In English, yes, but “Budweiser” derives from the Slavic “Budivoj”... and the “Budi” part there comes from the verb “buditi”, meaning to “wake up”.

So we might say that “Bud” translates more accurately to “Woke”.
