"Dude"

AlphaMale 3OO

I'm sick of people on boards using "dude" in their posts. Somebody will say something and somebody else will reply by saying: "Dude your completely wrong" or "Dude we heard that last week". Is this a new phenomenon? Do the Dudesters use this word in real life? Has the Southern Californication of Ireland finally been completed? I'm sure the next few posts will start with "Dude".

“Even the word ‘dude’ comes from the Irish word ‘dúid,’ or a foolish-looking fellow, a dolt,” Mr. Cassidy said. “They called the guys dudes who came down to the Five Points section of Manhattan to chase the colleens.”

I am now sick of hearing the word dude. How many times is dude said in that film?

a lot

i use dude quite a bit, generally when walking past dudes at work, used to be howsagoin, and the dude would say howsagoin back, with no response from either parties. I used to use dudette for the ladies, but did'nt go down too well. looking at dudess's name, sounds better, like godess, so i may start using that.

Most of the time I use it, it's in an ironic manner.

I dont say it at all, a few of my friends say it, but if I say it I just think it sounds slightly forced. I say man a good bit though

Have to agree that hearing Irish people use the word 'dude' is about as naff as hearing someone say 'groovy' or 'cool man'.:rolleyes:

The word first came to prominence (not general use) as far back as the early 70's when Scooby Doo was beamed into our homes and the veritable Shaggy used it in almost every other sentence.

For those of you who may not remember the original catoon see the attached link:

Other than Shaggy I think that the only acceptable use of the word dude must be from the Big Lebowski...where 'dudism' reigned supreme.:D

I remember "dude" becoming popular in the late 80s/early 90s - around the time of Bill & Ted, Wayne's World, "grunge", Beavis & Butthead etc. It's not a new thing.
I say it alot. I don't like the "k" thing in text though: "K I was in a restaurant in Stephen's Green and guess who I bumped into?" etc.

What would be a good greeting term? I tend to use man a lot. I hate when people say mate.

The Bollox

I generally say dude out of habit, don't think I use it in my writing (or typing). I don't see the problem with it.

MooseJam

have to admit I use dude a lot

bohsmug

Rockee

I also hate when people say 'mate'

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

God I know lots of people who say this IRL. Think it started out as a tongue in cheek thing but now it's a habit. I find it a little cringey sometimes but hey, I use ridiculous phrases too so who am I to judge?

Chill out man! That just aint cool.
