Joined: December 2001 Posts: 10581 Location: NJ | here it is scatterbrain was the band and this is the tune 10. Don't Call Me Dude 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... | ||

Joined: December 2004 Posts: 370 Location: Isle of Man, UK | Dude looks like a lady... Ahem. Moving swiftly on. I can sympathise - the one currently sweeping this particular Island is "Mate" (apparently a cockney-London-type spinoff). A piece of my composure is eroded every time I get called it by someone who isn't even a remote acquaintance. "Listen, my unknown person who I've just bought this coat from. I'm not your mate, and we both know for a fact that this coat costs more than you or I earn in a 7-hour day. Please don't call me Mate - I'm not your mate, and I couldn't even tell you whether your wearing your own or someone else's name badge." Even worse is "Sir" though. I'm not old enough to be Sir. In my mind, I'm barely old enough to be "Son"... JB | ||

Joined: May 2004 Posts: 2850 Location: Midland, MI | I'd rather be called TheNameThatShallNotBeMentioned (TNTSNBM...er, dude) than any of: Homey Homeboy Homeskillet Homefries Brutha Bro (this one drives me crazy) Brother My Brotha Crackah Cracker MoFo MaFugly Sport I will admit to using the term 'Chief' in a smugly patronizing, subtly derogatory manner, especially with salesdroids. Example: Salesdroid: Like, s'up, homefries, you gwon check out dat Lez Paul up der? Me: Errrr, beg pardon? Salesdroid: Yo' bro, s'ok, I kin get any ting down da wall you wan. Me: Uh, riiiight. Thanks, I'm just killing time. Salesdroid: S'ok, bro, I'm not pressurin' you no how, you dig, my brutha? Me: I see on your badge that your name is 'Carlton.' What say you drop the east side affectation, Carlton, and if I need some help I'll come find you? Salesdroid: Why crackah wan do me like dat? Yo, crazy MoFo don' know de sco. I's jes tryin' make some bank, he-uh. Me: Ok, *Chief*, got it. Which way was the exit? That fake 'gangsta' thing, especially when adopted by whitebread, middle class punks, irritates the hell out of me. Call me dude any day. And don't get me going on multiple, visible piercings, especially nose rings and those big freaking plugs they put in their ear lobes now... | ||

Joined: September 2004 Posts: 1180 Location: Vermont USA | I must say a simple four letter word has spun us all out of control. Maybe this word should be added to the seven words that can not be said on radio or t.v. I was reading in the book of Matthew and I saw the word Raca which means empty headed fool. So again it could be much worse. Pauly | ||

Joined: October 2005 Posts: 400 Location: North Texas | Cruster, I like your play. Will they be making the movie? I don't understand, either, why a middle class suburbanite wants to pretend he's from the projects, and master the eubonic dialects. Unfortunately, white folks are not allowed to embrace their own culture, so some of them might feel the need to adopt someone elses'. Did anyone see the Caucasian Music Awards on TV? Me neither. All we've got left is Riverdancing and Oktoberfest. Slim pickens my bruthas. ;) | ||

Joined: October 2005 Posts: 4026 Location: Utah | "Dude" just somehow seems to lack respect, especially when used by a teenager or professional subordinate towards me. Other times it doesn't bug me, but it does make me wonder about the maturity of the person using it sometimes. | ||
