1. A colloquialism meaning
chap,
cove,
bloke, now rather old-fashioned. Short for
body.
2. A nickname for Temple in the Jennings books by Anthony Buckeridge. His initials are CAT so naturally he got called Dog, or Dogsbody for short. Because this is longer (as Jennings pointed out), he was actually called Bod for short.
3. The native Tibetan name for Tibet (in Classical Tibetan: the modern name is Pö). Also gives its name to Bodic, a major branch of the Sino-Tibetan language family. Ethnologue database lists 134 Bodic languages (and calls one large subgroup of them Bodish), including many of those of Tibet, Nepal, Bhutan, and some of those in neighbouring regions of China and India. The Bodic languages include Tibetan and Bhutanese (Dzongkha). (However, Nepalese is Indo-European, not Sino-Tibetan.)
