I'm guilty of saying "dude" once in a while.:(

Vodstok 05-27-2005 09:12 AM

Dude is okay in moderation.

"hey, dude."

"Dude?"

"Dude, that sucks."

all acceptable.


when they use "dude" instead of your name on a regular basis, that is bad.


A habit i cant stand, people who use "You know" like a punctuation mark....

OK....I'm safe, I only say it once in a great while....funny thing is after I say it sometimes I think to myself....self...that sounds kinda stupid.

I work with a middle-aged guy from india who uses dude. i fucking love it...

Imagine Apu saying "Hey, dude. i almost fucking had you playing counter strike earlier."

newb 05-27-2005 09:20 AM

"Hey dude...would you like another slushie"







sorry if that came off a bit racist....twas not my intent.

Vodstok 05-27-2005 09:26 AM

i never got to know him quite well enough to know if that would offend him, but i doubt it would. he's really laid back.

a word i am really glad died back in the 80s...

the 50's 60's and old school 70's lingo is cool.


and 'cool' has become a very good word with a life of it's own ..
it's transcended 'fly by night' status and will always be with us ..

ShankS 05-27-2005 09:34 AM

I've just reread some of this thread, and what's amusing me most, is most of the stuff you lot hate and moan about, never used to be heard of here... since a lot of the advertising and hollywood uses so much of it in films, Uk culture has taken this all in, and now the kids grow up and use the slang all the time. Now english advertising companies in the Uk have latched onto the idea and now I see english products being sold the 'american' way, your slang you hate so much is become so influencial it 'could' get scary.

newb 05-27-2005 09:34 AM

How about words that have a whole new meaning.
{Again...I'm not trying to be insensitive.}

"Gay" used to mean "happy"
"fag" used to mean cigarette.[ a bit before my time ]

the word faggot means a bundle of sticks.



i'm always suprised at this day and age the number of people (especially on this forum) that use the expression 'gay' to describe things they dont approve of.

then they say they arent homophobic ...

i think that if you saw a man in a pretty dress wearing lipstick and sitting on another mans lap - and the other man was wearing chaps, cowboy boots and hat, a studded leather choker and no pants .... it might then be appropriate to say 'that looks gay'

other than that - it's a pretty poor use of the word.

Using the term "gay" to describe something distasteful is another product of simple minded kids repeating what they hear on tv. Southpark was the first thing to start using it like that, and then, of course, every 14 year old that got to stay up and watch it started saying "gay" for whatever they didnt like.

and south park was mocking the people that were saying it ..
they are 4 vile disgusting little kids.


its like andrew dice clay ... i felt bad for him because his act was about mocking a typical italian american prejudiced, homophobic, crude, crass loser.

but the college kids start thinking its for real and next thing you know people are worshiping his character as cool - not a parody.

people in general are too stupid to live

That happens to guys with horse-dicks. All the blood flows from their brains to their abnormal appendages.
