You said it, dude.

...dude?

[wildbluevagner]

Yeah. You don't know what it means? I almost thought you were down with some hip lingo.

[complicatedliar]

And this is why I'm often convinced you mortals simply make words up.

Isn't that how language starts?

[complicatedliar]

Technically, it's how they develop. That said, there's a difference between making up a word because a suitable one does not exist, and doing so just to confuse someone else.

[Written]

[wildbluevagner]

Maybe. But they're supposed to be cool, not confusing!

[complicatedliar]

Then explain this "dude."

[wildbluevagner]

It's just a cool way of referring to another guy. Like instead of saying, "yonder fellow" or something. Much cooler.

[Written]

[complicatedliar]

"Yon fellow" is actually the correct usage. What isn't "cool" about that?

[wildbluevagner]

It's just such an old person's word. You only hear that in Shakespeare and stuff.

No offense.

As your contemporaries are fond of pointing out, I am bloody ancient.

Sounds fair enough - but the term would actually be "mad old". Still, if you ever want to sound hipper and fresher, you know the homeboy to holler for.
