They do seem like a crabby lot.

It's all the sand in those hard to reach crevices.

I'd chuckle..but feelin' crappie today.

Some won't get this and will think you are a lousy speller to boot.

Oh god! The horror! How did you make it out of there!?

Believe it or not, the term "dude" is actually considered an insult in some quarters. Never thought anything of it until a Marine I used to work years ago would (yes, literally) get all violent about if called "dude." Still not entirely sure why it is considered a pejorative by some, but then again I never thought the terms "broad" or "dame" were insulting (again, found out they were).

While I get why "broad" and "dame" are considered by some to be nasty, anybody have any idea what gives with "dude"? I haven't been able to find anything about it....

Not to get off the fish topic....but I find the word "dude" from a young millennial that I am trying to spend over $1,000.00 with his employer, spoken in a condescending tone to be insulting.
I didn't get openly agitated, but when he finished his rant, I thanked him for his time and left.

No, I didn't swim.....
TOP DEFINITION
dude
A word that americans use to address each other. Particularly stoners, surfers and skaters.

Dude, while seemingly acceptable nowadays in some circles, used to be a snarky remark for a citified fellow, a person excessively concerned with his clothes, grooming, and manners (now I think that is termed 'metro-sexual). Think Dude-Ranch where real cowboys had to deal with wannabes wearing hundred dollar outfits, fancy boots and sporting soft hands.

I thought that person was a "dandy"? And that "dude" was supposed to be the opposite (in other words, somebody cool and manly)? Huh.
