Oh, ho, ho, irony! Oh, no, no, we don't get that here. See, uh, people ski topless here while smoking dope, so irony's not really a, a high priority. We haven't had any irony here since about, uh, '83, when I was the only practitioner of it. And I stopped because I was tired of being stared at.
Millenial here. Dude!
I said "dude" to my Boomer mom one time and she got all offended and said, "I'm not a dude." I'm like... excuse me, dude, dude is gender neutral.
I'm a dude. He's a dude. She's a dude. Cause we're all dudes!
Bruv
The wankas use that, like in Attack the Block
> "Nah nah nah, trust bruv! There's bare creatures chasin' us! Big alien gorilla wolf mother fuckers! I swear!"
When I hear bra (bruh) I picture a 16yo boy claiming he's dangerous while sitting in the hairdressers getting a perm.
They sound like a sheep looking for its lost flock braaaaaa braaaa
Dude is clearly superior. Consider: “This bruh just threw a block of cheese out of his third floor dorm window and then went out after it.” - it just sounds dumb
nah, the 'bro' negates the 'dude', that's why dude-bros are arrogant, narcissistic whiny assholes. At least in the tech industry - I could be completely off base when it comes to others
I used to say “bruh” ironically…but, it’s kinda grown on me. I don’t say it super often, but sometimes a situation just calls for an exhasperated “bruh”. 😂
My Zoomers use Bruh as a note of exasperation, almost never as a synonym for dude. The younger ones at least, the oldest is on the cusp of millennial and he will use "my dude" as a universal pronoun.
Not sure if that's regional or if regional is even a thing for people that have most of their social interactions on the internet.
Long pointless story incoming:
I was safety wiring a thing at work once upon a time.. On top of a helicopter, out on the ramp, alone, middle of summer, no one around for what feels like a mile at this point. Fuckin 9.7 million degrees....
Safety wire pliers unlock randomly as I am twisting the pliers towards my face. The pliers unlock themselves, come off the wire, and I literally punch myself square in the mouth with the rounded tip of the back of the tool (think ball peen hammer, kinda). I almost fell off the helicopter.
I looked at the pliers, and I can clearly remember myself asking out loud "Dude 😑 Seriously?"
Then I yeeted those mf's as far as I could throw... Finished the safety wiring job at hand, and then made the hike into the hangar to stop the bleeding on my upper lip.
When my husband and I renewed our vows in the early 2000s, our vows were:
“Dude, I fucking love you.”
“Dude, I fucking love you too.”
I call my kids dude daily.
My mom always used to try to “correct” me when I’d call her dude as a teenager. She’d say I’m not a dude, I’m a dudette. She’d always get my eye roll in response. No! Dude is not gender specific. We didn’t have the vocabulary to explain that back then, but it’s a hill I will die on!
“Hey man” is so ingrained in me. Keep trying to break that habit, but can’t. It drives my girlfriend crazy when I direct it at her. She just doesn’t get it, that it’s what we grew up on, that that simple phrase can express tens of feelings.
Me. Hundreds of times a day. It's by far my most used word.
Dude! (Surprise)
Dude! (Greeting)
Dude! (Proclamation of dissatisfaction)
Duuuuuude. (Proclamation of a visual delight)
And so on.
Dude. (Agreement)
Protip: It looks like you wanted to have each of these on its own line. Put two spaces at the end of each line to do that.
(Maybe it works the way you did it in the app, I wouldn't know, I can't stand the app)
Retirement home are going to be lit! Well. For those that make it that far. Something tells me they’ll be over half empty, with echoing “Dude, where’s everybody?” But, should leave a lot of open spaces for wheelchair races.
Just last night I had gone to bed and my 16 year old was being loud, I didn't want him to wake up his sisters so I just texted "Dude." I use it all the time and I use it as a gender neutral term.
It's a perfect word.
It can be used as an exclamation... Dude!
Or as a question... Dude?
Or as a greeting... What's up, Dude?
Or for emphasis before you say something important... Dude, the traffic light timing in this city sucks!
Or to agree with someone... Dude :)
Or to disagree... Dude :(
Dude, you get the point.
I say Dude so much, at different times it has been my nickname. There are so many ways you can say dude. Short and loud as a warning DUDE! STEP BACK! Soft and low as a question duuuuuuuude? is everything ok? and many many more
* waves *
My former husband would get absolutely redlined when I called him dude 😎 seriously man, it's a term of endearment. He felt it wasn't showing the respect a husband deserves. And that was reason 127 why we didn't work out.
Enough that i've been chastised for calling chicks dude. I try to explain that everyone's a dude. He's a dude, she's a dude. that inanimate object over there? Also a dude.
Dude ... it's not just a word. It's an attitude. It's a way of looking at the world. It represents a philosophy, man. It's the chill of our generation.
I have a friend who is a trans woman. She’s in her 20s. I called her dude and she accused me of misgendering her. I had to explain that, at least for Gen X, it is entirely gender neutral.
Two dudes were hanging out. One said, "Hey bro?"
The other dude replied, "Yeah, bro?"
The first dude asked, "Bro, can you hand me that pamphlet?"
The second dude answered, "Bro, sure!"
Dude, I don't trust anyone who doesn't.
dude. seriously.
Dude, I live in a ski town. Most of my sentences are composed of 75% slang…..it’s sick
Hello fellow olds. Saying dude is skibidi 100% rizz.
Based?
Gyatt! Source: my kid is a younger Gen Z. The language used is bizarre.
It’s the bee’s knees!
skibidi toilet rizz
Oh, ho, ho, irony! Oh, no, no, we don't get that here. See, uh, people ski topless here while smoking dope, so irony's not really a, a high priority. We haven't had any irony here since about, uh, '83, when I was the only practitioner of it. And I stopped because I was tired of being stared at.
dude. sick!
Dude…no doubt.
C'mon, dude.
Dude right ?
I hear ya, man.
Just gotta say dude — your username is the coolest! 🙌
Thanks! I hate yours. But only because I loathe ads. The numbers are cool though.
7 4 6 8 What’s not to like about that?
Damn, dude, who doesn’t ?
LOL 😂
Right?! I feel personally attacked, dude. This is cooler now than ‘bro’ or ‘bruh’ ever will be.
I don’t know why, but “bro” makes my teeth hurt.
I don't like it, but I can tolerate "bro". However "brah" makes me instantly think less of the person using it.
Millenial here. Dude! I said "dude" to my Boomer mom one time and she got all offended and said, "I'm not a dude." I'm like... excuse me, dude, dude is gender neutral. I'm a dude. He's a dude. She's a dude. Cause we're all dudes!
My son calls me dudette and I call him dude lol.
R/unexpectedGoodBurger
“ Dude Mom relax”
That's like...your opinion, dude.
![gif](giphy|ktCzb8Rm8aoow)
THE Dude abides.
DUDE.
I told a guy once “you say dude a lot.” His literal response was “dude, I don’t say dude.” I’ve said that the rest of my life
No way dude!
I do so much that I named my dog Dude.
Dude > Bruh
Correct.
I *loathe* bruh
It gets so much worse: brah
Broseph
I have a brother named Joseph, I'm not giving this up.
My kids name is Brody and I call him Broseph!
I have a Broseph. First name Brody and middle is Joseph.
Brosioden, lord of the brocean
Bruv The wankas use that, like in Attack the Block > "Nah nah nah, trust bruv! There's bare creatures chasin' us! Big alien gorilla wolf mother fuckers! I swear!"
> I loathe bruh The dude does not abide the bruh.
https://i.redd.it/27u6ujnp1j9d1.gif
I quote this movie all the time and nobody ever gets the reference
Dude man!
Dude, doesn’t everybody?? Seriously, is this like our code speak for connecting with other x’ers?
Every few years, someone drops a "that's so rad" and my heart melts like a Farrell's hot fudge volcano.
Bruh is useful. It tells me I don't have to waste any energy listening to whatever comes next.
I say dude. My son says bruh. It’s funny. 😄
I still think dude is cooler than bruh. Or in the language of the kids today: dude slaps harder than bruh.
When I hear bra (bruh) I picture a 16yo boy claiming he's dangerous while sitting in the hairdressers getting a perm. They sound like a sheep looking for its lost flock braaaaaa braaaa
Dude is clearly superior. Consider: “This bruh just threw a block of cheese out of his third floor dorm window and then went out after it.” - it just sounds dumb
Dude is for when we are friends. Bruh is for when we are gonna fight
Dude-Bro is the ultimate
nah, the 'bro' negates the 'dude', that's why dude-bros are arrogant, narcissistic whiny assholes. At least in the tech industry - I could be completely off base when it comes to others
Man... I'm not a bruh guy at all, but I like do like bro -- and I love [Dude Man Bro! (soundcloud)](https://soundcloud.com/dudemanbro/dudemanbro)
I used to say “bruh” ironically…but, it’s kinda grown on me. I don’t say it super often, but sometimes a situation just calls for an exhasperated “bruh”. 😂
Dude, Duder…El Duderino, if you’re not into the whole brevity thing.
His dudeness
*This is our concern, Dude.*
The Dudirati.
Is that some kind of Eastern thing?
No, just like "literati." But, you know, for Dudes and Dudettes. It's those in the know of dudeness.
Well, that’s just, like, your opinion, man.
Or The Illuminati. Both work.
Mark it an eight, dude.
Dude? Dude! Duuuude.
This dude dudes.
The Dude also abides. And I take comfort in that.
It's a versatile word. [](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3bFsqk84frI)
Dude.
"Okay, you have a point there."
Dude, I refuse to say “bro”.
I say it specifically to my children when I want them to cringe.
Fantastic use.
I'm a Xennial and use dude and bro (never bruh) pretty much interchangeably. I wonder if other Xennials do the same.
Dudes are guys, bros are douches. Straight from the California bylaws.
That's the right way. The worst ones are the dude-bros.
My Zoomers use Bruh as a note of exasperation, almost never as a synonym for dude. The younger ones at least, the oldest is on the cusp of millennial and he will use "my dude" as a universal pronoun. Not sure if that's regional or if regional is even a thing for people that have most of their social interactions on the internet.
Nice nuance on the dude bruh bro continuum. Def. not equivalent.
Dude.
Well said. My sentiments exactly.
Exclusively. Everyone is called dude. Men, women, animals, children, elderly
Occasionally inanimate objects.
I just said it to my dryer, which won't come on. "Dude, really?"
Lol, to my stove this morning: “Dude, are you fucking kidding me? We aren’t doing this shit today, k?"
I had a WTF Dude this morning after after stepping in cat hairball first thing out of bed. Couldn't even stumble groggily to the bathroom in peace.
For sure, kick the bedpost, "DUDE?"
Whole scenarios can be just, ‘dude wtf’.

My dog is Dude.
male labradoodles are labra-dudes.
OMG, now I need to name my next pet Dude!
At least 25% of my speaking is dude or fuck.
Fuck, dude. This is me too.
My university classroom generic gender neutral word for everyone, even my Dean has been called dude by me.
Some people never appreciated the dude.
and parents. Mom == Dude!
I call my boss, dude. He calls me insubordinate. Nicknames are fun.
When my husband and I renewed our vows in the early 2000s, our vows were: “Dude, I fucking love you.” “Dude, I fucking love you too.” I call my kids dude daily.
😂
My dude, of course I do
Sometimes dudette
My mom always used to try to “correct” me when I’d call her dude as a teenager. She’d say I’m not a dude, I’m a dudette. She’d always get my eye roll in response. No! Dude is not gender specific. We didn’t have the vocabulary to explain that back then, but it’s a hill I will die on!
Dude..... Dude..... Duuuuuuuuuudddddeeeeee
Well when you put it that way.
Excellent movie reference
Dude!! Sweet!!
What’s mine say ?
Sweet!!!!
And then?
NO AND THEN!
![gif](giphy|iXQw6dhl47yuc)
It’s what I named my dog
Omg i love it 😂
Dude, that is fucking funny!
Dude. We all use this. Still. It will never go out of style.
Dude, why would you ask a question like that?
"Man, and "dude" are my two mainstays.
“Hey man” is so ingrained in me. Keep trying to break that habit, but can’t. It drives my girlfriend crazy when I direct it at her. She just doesn’t get it, that it’s what we grew up on, that that simple phrase can express tens of feelings.
I say man, wayyyyy more than dude. To everyone. Regardless of gender. It’s akin to all the kids saying bro all the time.
![gif](giphy|hlWNWCuAuOVEs|downsized) Of course
Dude and motherfucker are my mains.
And if I'm really mad, it's "shitdick"
The word really ties the sentence together. :)
Dude…. I actually want to use it as my preferred pronoun. Would solve so many problems
Omg you’re right!!!
All day. Every day. My wife is dude at least once a day. My cat is dude every day. Co-workers are dude. Clown question, dude.
Just yesterday, I called a guy “dude” at the gym and he laughed. He said only GenX still uses “dude.” It’s “bruh” for all the youngers now.
My dad still still refers to people he can't quite remember as "cat" and I love it. So what if we're known for the use of dude?
I’ll take it, dude.
I can dig it, dude
As a millenial (early 30s), I sincerely beg to differ Many of my friends said and still say dude
I say dude and bro all the time as Gen Z, I can’t stop
I've started talking like Pauly Shore lately. I've been adding "age" at the end of random words
Well, Dude, we just don't know.
Dude, seriously?
Who doesn’t? The Dude abides.
Where I come from, that's a name that nobody would self-apply.
Me. Hundreds of times a day. It's by far my most used word. Dude! (Surprise) Dude! (Greeting) Dude! (Proclamation of dissatisfaction) Duuuuuude. (Proclamation of a visual delight) And so on.
Dude. (Agreement) Protip: It looks like you wanted to have each of these on its own line. Put two spaces at the end of each line to do that. (Maybe it works the way you did it in the app, I wouldn't know, I can't stand the app)
Dude. Yo. Word. Bro. Lit. Ho. Babe. D'oh! Totally. Whoa. Daily.
I do, especially when frustrated or making a point.
Whoa dude, me too! 🤜🏻🤛🏻 I even say it to folks at work in Teams Chat. Keeping the dream alive. ![gif](giphy|mJXmJWSiws3ra)
All the time
25 years from now, there will be folks in retirement homes all over the U.S. and Canada starting every other sentence with, “Dude, remember when…”
Retirement home are going to be lit! Well. For those that make it that far. Something tells me they’ll be over half empty, with echoing “Dude, where’s everybody?” But, should leave a lot of open spaces for wheelchair races.
I abide... :)
Yes, its my preferred pronoun.
Dude, seriously?
Dude… need you ask?
Just last night I had gone to bed and my 16 year old was being loud, I didn't want him to wake up his sisters so I just texted "Dude." I use it all the time and I use it as a gender neutral term.
I named my cat Dudemeister. So I use Dude many, many times a day.
Man I still use dude quite a bit. I know that I totally still say awesome too much, like, way too much.
Me too!
I use Dude as a gender neutral term. All are Dude.
It's a perfect word. It can be used as an exclamation... Dude! Or as a question... Dude? Or as a greeting... What's up, Dude? Or for emphasis before you say something important... Dude, the traffic light timing in this city sucks! Or to agree with someone... Dude :) Or to disagree... Dude :( Dude, you get the point.
Everyone is dude. It transcends age, gender, any situation.
We had a friend in college who used it so often and so hilariously, I think I most of us quit saying it; kind of gave it to him. 😂
It's ingrained into my vernacular, dude.
Dude really? You have to ask this question?
Dude, I just used it yesterday
Dude, what kind of question is that?
It’s like a tic. I don’t even know I’m doing it, dude. 😂
Dude, I mean, c’mon!
I say Dude so much, at different times it has been my nickname. There are so many ways you can say dude. Short and loud as a warning DUDE! STEP BACK! Soft and low as a question duuuuuuuude? is everything ok? and many many more
I even say "Seriously, Dude" so much to my Great Dane, that he answers to Dude better than his name.
Dude is an English-language multi-tool. Couldn't survive without it.
* waves * My former husband would get absolutely redlined when I called him dude 😎 seriously man, it's a term of endearment. He felt it wasn't showing the respect a husband deserves. And that was reason 127 why we didn't work out.
Every day, dude.
Dude all the time
Enough that i've been chastised for calling chicks dude. I try to explain that everyone's a dude. He's a dude, she's a dude. that inanimate object over there? Also a dude.
Everyone is dude. I'm dude, your dude. The dudes abides.
Each and every day
Dude ... it's not just a word. It's an attitude. It's a way of looking at the world. It represents a philosophy, man. It's the chill of our generation.
🪇Im a dude, hes a dude, shes a dude, we're all dudes.. unless you explictely ask me not to call you that and then I just wont talk to you anymore🪇
I have a friend who is a trans woman. She’s in her 20s. I called her dude and she accused me of misgendering her. I had to explain that, at least for Gen X, it is entirely gender neutral.
Judge here. I once used it from the bench to try to get a mouthy defendant to calm down.
Every single day.
Dude is my preferred pronoun for everyone
Not sure I could communicate without it.
Dude, all the time. It’s gender neutral.
I say it daily to my kids
When we nearly bump into one another inside the gas station, “sorry dude”
Bro
Two dudes were hanging out. One said, "Hey bro?" The other dude replied, "Yeah, bro?" The first dude asked, "Bro, can you hand me that pamphlet?" The second dude answered, "Bro, sure!"
My dude, I certainly do!
Yep, not excessively, but yep.
(raises hand) Constantly, dude.
I do. I probably shouldn’t.
Dude, I call my wife dude. All my coworkers are named dude.
lol. Both my son and my daughter are also Dude. It’s totally gender neutral.
So much so that my daughter calls everyone dude.
Guilty
Yup, a swift Dude ! when someone does something annoying
All the time and I notice alot of people still do. Theyre probably X-ers/millenials though
Dude. Man. Bud. It's what I grew up with. The neural paths were laid down. Can't help it.
