  • well. to my beau, "dude" is a compliment... as in, when a football player makes a great tackle, "that guy is such a dude."
  • Indeed. I use the words "dude", "man" and "buddy" almost constantly in my speech. To me, it's a term of respect, even veneration.
  • "I'm The Dude so that's what you call me...ya know, ah, that or his Dudeness or Duder or El Dudereno if you're not into the whole brevity thing.
  • "....received a citation for having an open container of beer. Olivares didn't dispute the charges. He just took issue with being called dude. ``He was calling me dude and laughing about it,'' Olivares said. ``I don't think Kern County needs that kind of leadership.'' This guy has some nerve. The Dude! abides. Small wonder he was called Dude and not regarded as a gentleman. Gentlemen don't drink and drive, Dude.
  • Alas, another dead link. Ah well...
