Serious question - is "pal" offensive in the US?
It's often used in the UK without any offensive connotations.
it depends on how its used. we usually dont use the word "pal" to refer to one another. it is used more to sarcastically thank someone like saying "thanks alot, pal" with the word "pal" stessed. thats used as an insult, usually when one person crosses another or does something that isnt in the other persons favor when they are supposed to be friends. its not a huge deal, but people dont usually like to be called it here. "buddy" is usually preferred over "pal".
I don't necessarily "like" being called either, but it certainly doesn't offend me, especially not to the point that I feel the need to retort. I don't give it much thought.

Thanks for the explanation, just seemed to me that the OP was very polite in his/her posts so got me wondering.
