The Dude Disease


The word dude has been around for centuries. Eons ago, a Roman general was assassinated for calling Caesar a dude. Crazy Romans! Poor general!
Coming back to the 21st century, this four letter word is used like there’s no tomorrow. “Do you want to go for a movie dude?”  “Move over dude!”  “Dude, what are you saying?”  “No way, dude!”  Here are two sentences where dude should be used:
“You’re so fake dude!”
“Stop using that effing word dude!”
Whatever happened to simple nick names? Are they too ’uncool’ to be used today? Oh I nearly forgot- to fit in you have to use a few keywords. The most important one being… (No prizes for guessing)

This is what a retro dude would look like. Compare him to the cool dudes we see today. Striking resemblances? NONE!
What is even more disturbing is the fact that even members of the opposite sex have also started calling each other dudes!! Can somebody please explain to me how and why the hell did that happen???
All I can say is that if you really want to find a common name for everyone then just come up with one which doesn’t sound so shitty.

(P.S: you don’t have to believe what I read nor do you have to implement it. But just give it a thought. You’ll know what I’m talking about. Bye dudes!!)
