Dude

[FishFishRevolution]

I can say that word because I'm in California.

[Varia]

What, you don't say "dude" back in your respective state? That is totally lame.

[FishFishRevolution]

No, I do, but now I'm allowed to.

[Varia]

Allowed to? Where do you live? In Naziville or something?

[FishFishRevolution]

No, but 'dude' is like surf language, and you can't surf in DC, unless you're sidewalk surfing.

It's part of my vocabulary, and I always feel better saying it when I'm visiting here.

[Varia]

I kind of just thought everybody said "dude". Being in California myself, it is a normal, everyday word. It never occurred to me that people might not say it because their state lacks an ocean.

But yeah, it's a really nice word.

What do you guys use as a substitute for "dude"? Not just Fish here, but everyone. Show me your true powah.

[FishFishRevolution]

Man is the most common that I hear/use in place. OHNOS I ANSWERED ANYWAY VARIA

Gah, this is one of the reason why i hated moving away from california. Everyone thought that because i lived in california before, that i surfed and talked in that lingo, but i never did.

[Demon_Of_The_Comet]

[Edge_of_Death]

"Rad" is so out of style now.

[Afrobean]

The term dude can and is used everywhere. It's not even a surfing term. Surfers just adopted it.

I've never been surfing, but those of you who know anything about me know that I do skateboard, so whatever.

[Squeek]

You live in DC? And you've never told me?

Shoot. We're only like 20 minutes apart then... when you get home that is.

Dude.

"Dude" derives from a Dude Ranch.

Wikipedia:

The dude ranch type of ranch oriented towards visitors or tourism. It is a phenomenon of the romanticization of the American West after the official closing of the United States frontier in the late 19th century. The Western adventures of hardy aristocrats like Theodore Roosevelt were made available to paying guests from cities or the East, called "tenderfeet" or "dudes" in the West.

I already handled the etymology thank you very much. Dictionary.com tells it.

dude means elephant poo
Dude does not mean elephant poo. Do some research before you regurgitate stuff that others have said to you.

[emptiness]

i know...assmonkey but it's funny listening to what kids think it means

[vashthestampede0987]

I totally loved how they made the power rangers first season so racist. The "black" ranger was a black person, the "yellow" ranger was asian. Then they made the white ranger to piss off the minorites.

[emptiness]
