    Dude....Sweet

    Do you really think in a thread such as this what you just said has not been said already?

    Personally i have used the word "Dude" in both spoken and written conversation since i first fell in love with the Teenage Mutant Hero Turtles.

    Can't say as i would feel particularly inclined to change the way i speak or the terminology i use just because some randomer on the internet doesn't like it.;)

    Oh right, I picked you specifically out of a crowd and asked you to change the way you spoke did I? Whats with the randomer jibe? Because you have the words "moderator" written in the corner of the screen that makes you the opposite of an internet randomer? your as random and insigificant as me or anyone else.

    Nothing wrong with 'dude', it stems from the use of the word by cowboys.

    But cowboys are gay now.

    There's nothing wrong with dude, I use it a fair bit when I'm with friends.

    HOW AND EVER, saying "dude" with a country accent sounds retarded, as does saying it with a thick Dublin accent. No offense bog folk, but you should stick to your rural terms such as "a chara".

    I have a neutral accent. I'm from Cork but you couldn't tell. I haven't got a posh accent, I haven't got a skanger accent, and I haven't got a country accent. So it tends to sound ok when I say Dude. I'm usually only messing when I say it though. I don't use it on a regular basis.

    I also say like to say 'What is up homes?' because it makes me sound like such an uncool white person and I know I can't pull it off. (Which is also why I say 'what is up' instead of 'sup')

    I would only really use it tongue in cheek. I know a guy that says it a lot and I wouldnt find it annoying really. I blame southpark.

    Nah... all Irish people sound stupid saying it. South Dublin, Posh Cork, Bogger.

    Same with 'gaffe'. But maybe I'm just getting old.

    Wow. This whole thing seriously has your back up if you need to respond to my comment that way.

    No need to have a panic attack because you misread my post because you got hung up on the fact that i moderate Fitness, this is after hours and in here i'm just another punter. Your the one reading too much into the Moderator thing.

    Cool thine jets friend, tis only the net.

    To you, maybe. To everyone else, you've a cork accent.

    Even if you're only living there a few years, they still manage to assimilate you.
