Is "dude" the stupidest word ever made?

Answer 1

Hey dude, I don't know about the stupidest word but.., posting this in R & S is the stupidest thing I've ever seen.

Answer 2

You know, lingo is normally very generational, but the surfer lingo (which includes dude) has lasted for a LONG time. When was the last time you heard someone say "daddio."

Maybe dude has lasted so long because it's so dumb. Or maybe it's lasted so long because it so perfectly conveys what it's supposed to. An acknowledgement of the humanity of a person while simultaneously granting a large array of potential emotions:

"Dude, where's my car?" Surprise and frusturation
"DUDE! That was awesome!" Excitement
"Dude, I think you need to take it a lil' easy on the beer man..." Concern
"Dude, WTF?!" Anger.

The list goes on. You can criticize it all you want, but it probably does a better job at what it's supposed to than you do. But that's not a fair comparison, cause it's just a word...

Here's my story, sad but true
About a girl that I once knew.
She broke my heart, I became unglued,
It all started when she called me dude

Well today I leave the psycho ward
Cause my sentence did conclude:
I had killed a man with my bare hands
Because he called me dude

The jury said that I was insane.
Temporally insane - brain strain.
But now the doctors say I'm A.O.K.
So I start my new life today.

This story starts some years ago
As I vacationed by the sea.
In the California sunshine
Just me & my baby.

I was in love feeling sky high
When a big blonde lifeguard walked by.
He looked at her, she looked at him -
I knew it was good bye.

He took her by the hand, kicked sand in my face.
She looked & laughed & said, "Later Dude!"
They were gone without a trace
And the waves echoed her laughter
And her words...Yo Later Dude.

Later that night I was in such a bad mood
Sittin' in a bar drinkin' hard, getting stewed
Thinkin' 'bout that girl & how 'bout I'd been screwed
When some guy walks in sits next to me & says
What's up dude!

I heard the word dude & I became unglued.
Slowly I turned, step by step, inch by inch
And put my hands around his neck, and I squeezed...

Don't call me dude!

So that's how I got where I am
But this ain't where it ends.
The doctors said they cured me
I said good bye to my crazy friends.

I was smiling as I left that place
My life had been renewed.
The guard at the gate, he stamped my pass
And he said, "Yo Later Dude!"

Slowly I turned...
