I'm starting a 'dudes' thread so Americans can express polite fraternal disdain in their native language

Hello fellow dudes what what

How do you do, fellow dudes?

I found that article fascinating and will now go search Mike Leander on ILM instead of working

CAN'T EXPLAIN: Dudes who get all bent out of shape if you call them "dude," like you're calling them nancy or something.

"CAN'T EXPLAIN: Dudes who get all bent out of shape if you call them "dude,"

i don't really like it. coming from people i don't know. but i'm used to it. living in philly, african-american men i didn't know either called me dude or big guy. so, you know, a decade of people calling you dude you get used to it. but it can feel dismissive to me coming from people i don't know.

prefer salespeople to call me dude (which has never happened) rather than bro (has happened in the most bizarre contexts, like helping me find laser printer toner) or (and this seems increasingly and weirdly popular especially in sandwich shops) boss.

toner for the bro, sub for the boss

I've been recently more and more buddy'd by: a female friend; a work higher-up; and sales personnel. I don't imagine any of these people intend it to have the slightly aggressive and belittling tone with which I hear it.

Hey, settle down, pal.

poorly formed "nudes" pun

I get "boss" a lot. Usually from the dudes at the oil change place.

I once got "legend", which i instinctively wanted to object to but fuck it.

do any of u remember the show a close up of yr penis thread

has the time cum to raise it from the dead

There is a guy at work who calls me (and only me) "bro" or "brother" every time I run into him in the break room; I can't tell if this is because he is super Boston, super racist, or part black.

Aw symmetry required super black

But I suppose you would be able to tell that

if youre not from california, don't call people dude

except itt

I’m from CA so yeah
Hey dude

Taking sides : bro vs dude

vs guy vs man

bro: classic or dude?

something a little endearing to me when new englanders would call me "guy"

or bud

bud is p common in my little corner of western canada

might be a hockey thing tho?

t/s bro vs bruh

t/s man vs mang

bud vs buddy

Dude is hella uncool

you’re hella uncool

When I walk down the street and no ones around I say outloud “hey mang”

is women greeting a group of women as "heeey guys" a Minnesota thing or all over?

my mom walked up to the cash registers (no line) at a food place with me and asked "which of you guys is taking orders" and both cashiers were women

“Guys” is not a gendered term anymore. “You guys” is always preferable to “you women.”

well Midwestern normies were leading the charge on that one for the last couple decades

When I was a teacher someone observing me said I shouldn’t call the class “guys” as in “alright guys, let’s get started” because it marginalized the girls. I did not take this criticism seriously.

^ under-appreciated revelation imo

this information was suppressed by the media, dude

whatever dude

in far northern california we pronounced it "deed"

"Sup deed?"

are dudes and lads white?

I can't really speak to "lads" but "dudes" are not necessarily white, no

what the heckin' frick, dude?

Lads aren’t even male, it’s a gender neutral term

lads are anyone but tbf thats possibly anglo irish usage

SCENARIO 1
- "Tell me who's Kenny again?"
- "You know? Dark-skinned dude going out with Becca? Got that red Charger?"
- "Oh yeah. He's cool."

SCENARIO 2
- "Tell me who's Kenny again?"
- "You know? Dark-skinned lad going out with Becca? Got that red Charger?"
- "Dark-skinned LAD? What the fuck, dude?"

Lads aren’t even male, it’s a gender neutral term

is the use of lad as in lad mag and laddish a cultural difference or a historical change or both?

dark-skinned lad

that's the anglo usage in my head and prob not as good

xp ffs that is def not the usage to introduce

SCENARIO 1, in a normal country
- “Yeah Enda got me the tickets for the county final, sound fella.”
- "Who's Enda again?"
- "You know the fella who works in the credit union, the Chinese lad"
- "Grand so."

SCENARIO 2, in an unnamed country
- "HEY GUY YOU KNOW THAT KUTTER GUY?"
- “WHAT?”
- "YOU KNOW? DARK-SKINNED DUDE GOING OUT WITH BECCA? GOT THE RED CHARGER?"
- "DARK-SKINNED DUDE, ARE YOU FOR REAL, ARE YOU CECIL RHODES RIGHT NOW"

I prefer the Enda way.

What's this about Enda Kenny?

I lost it at ARE YOU CECIL RHODES RIGHT NOW

I prefer the Enda way.
