Did you just correct a spelling that wasn't incorrect?
You are going senile, old man.
Also, wrong on all accounts, dude. 😂
Originally posted by TrocityNo, I corrected your misuse of your, instead of you're for you are. Sad little Incel that you are "dude", you're not doing well for someone old enough to use "dude", wow so creepy. 🙂

Originally posted by dadudemonI'd have said it was late boomer early Gen X. I haven't seen it used much since the early noughties and I suspect if still in use it's regional, I've never heard a New Yorker use it for instance. In the UK, blood and bruv superseded it long ago, even words like mandem are used more. It always was a kind of uncool "cool" word I guess. Although that kind of slang is rarely cool. Could be sub groups like video gamers use it. But that would support its lack of coolness tbh. Surely Bro replaced it in the US?
Well...the opposite of that is true.Not only do young dudes say dude a lot, dudette has fallen out of style and all genders are dudes.
You're likely to hear a teenage girl call and be called dude than you are other labels. Dude is like cool: it's just a word that stuck from the Boomer generation until now.
No, the word 'dude' has not gone out of style lol. Many still use it, including myself, although I don't agree with ddd (shocker, I know lol) that it is used equally for people of both genders. I've never called a girl or woman "dude" and never will.
I also have to laugh at PB for saying no one says 'dude' anymore when he frequently calls people 'mate' which is a word much less used in the United States than 'dude.' Probably not that way in the UK though I guess.

UK? For sure, bruv is the only thing I hear like "dude" from the young Brits.
I'm coming from a US-centric perspective.

But surely Bro is the US Bruv isn't it now? I see Bro lots mate, Dude, not so much, except from people like Star.
You don't live in the US so you've no idea. 'Dude' is still used a great deal by many people but go ahead & keep ignorantly believing it's some kind of rare thing lol. "Mate' , otoh, really is pretty rare in the US.
Also, you finally get tired of calling me Fly so you've gone back to calling me Star now? LOL. Ok, how long will it be before you back to calling me Fly again?
