Super User .ghoti. Posted October 19, 2011 Super User Posted October 19, 2011 You can tell, generally, how old a guy is by taking note of he addresses another guy. Being an old fart, I say "hey, man". "Dude" came along sometime in the 80's. That unfortunate term has pretty much taken over. I thought, when I first heard it, that this won't last long. I was wrong. You hear it all the time. A little later, along comes "bro". I thought maybe this will get rid of "dude". No such luck. You hear bro very seldom now. Recently we have "dog". I have only one thing to say about that. We started as men and have now become dogs, and we've done it to ourselves. I suspect the women have known this all along. Quote
Super User 5bass Posted October 19, 2011 Super User Posted October 19, 2011 Dude, are you bored? Quote
Super User Raider Nation Fisher Posted October 19, 2011 Super User Posted October 19, 2011 Interesting thought you have there brother. I still use bro, homie, and brother. Never was big on dude. It takes a whole lot for me to use or say dude. Maybe I'm just unhip with the new lingo. Quote
quanjig Posted October 19, 2011 Posted October 19, 2011 I use "dudeman". I guess that puts me somewhere in between! Quote

BassResource.com Administrator Glenn Posted October 20, 2011 BassResource.com Administrator Posted October 20, 2011 When I first saw it was a post by Ghoti, a thought came to my mind. Then I read the subject line, and thought "You read my mind!" Quote

Global Moderator Bluebasser86 Posted October 20, 2011 Global Moderator Posted October 20, 2011 Different people get different labels from me. Someone I don't know usually gets the "hey man." If you got gold,silver,platinum that you don't need in your mouth and your pants are 5 sizes to big it's "dog" or "homie" If you're inside at night and wearing sunglasses and more than half a bottle of hair gel in your hair it's "bro" Quote
Super User Bassn Blvd Posted October 20, 2011 Super User Posted October 20, 2011 You can call me anything you want, just don't call me late for dinner. Quote
