"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".

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

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

Ooops! Sorry, that was a typo! I meant to write I haven't got a posh accent. As I said, mine is neutral.

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.

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.

I have a neutral accent. I'm from Cork but you couldn't tell. I have 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 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.

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 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')

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

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.;)

OP, i cant say i share your dislike for the word dude.. or mate..

"Bud".. theres one im not a fan of.. "staaaarry bud"

i never said i had a problem with the word "mate". its moreso people using "dude" in posts. e.g. "Dude you are so not cool," when they would not really use it in real life. It's like their mouths are Irish but their typing fingers have gone all yankee. But obviously loads of Americanisms have slipped their way into the spoken words of irish people. These kind of annoy me too. Especially D4 girls saying "HELLOOO!!" or "EW MOY GODDDD I haven't seen you in LOIK SUCH a long TOIME".

And thats another thing, while South Dublin guys have somewhat adopted the mannerisms of our Trans-Atlantic cousins, South Dublin girls have taken the idiosyncracies to a whole new level; and you may disagree with me here but there now exists a difference between the male and female accents in that the females are now near-indistinguishable from Southern Californian Valley Girls. I always noticed this but the point was hammered home to me by a visiting American friend who felt very much at home while travelling the 46A route to town one night. I await the cynical replys.

''thats like totally awesome dude''

i have never heard any of my friends say dude before... except when we do simpson impressions... which is like all the time lol

but our english becoming more and more american-ised, people say i sound american:( id rather sound like a knacker with an acorn shoved up their @$$ then an american.

i blame television.
