I will take a start at this , but others will have to add to the explanation.
Folk is more a southern term for a group of people. Friendly, but without much feeling.
Dud is generally a thing that did not do much (like a fire cracker that did not explode). When grouped with the other terms, you may mean Dub. Dub is a somewhat negative term of addressing someone you may not know or someone you want to belittle as insignificant.
Buddi or Buddy is a friendly greeting for someone you may or may not know. It implies you are friends, but may be used when you want a favor from a stranger.
Bro is more of a slang term of greeting. It is likely a shortening of Brother. Both imply you are friends or friendly.

I think he might have meant " Dude ".
If so I'd say it refers to a male, usually in the form of an exclamation, as in " Hey dude, what are you doing trying to drift your Volvo ? "
A 100 years ago it would have been the man who made an impression due to his manner, clothes etc. but not in a negative way.
Best I can do....

Try to learn life's bad lessons vicariously through others.

Folk is people in general. As in German Volkswagen .. a wagon for people in general not just the upper classes.
Dude is American English slang for an individual, typically male, who dressed in an extremely fashionable manner (a dandy).
Buddy is a close friend. A variant of Butty (companion).
Bro short for Brother. Used for close male friends who aren't actually brothers. "He is like a brother to me" .

But there are generational differences , too.
Dude and Bro are considered informal by my generation ( Boomers) but not so for later generations, where they are greetings for a stranger
My generation could say “ Hey Buddy, could you let me in line here ? Without offense.
Dude, can you help me find my car?
