    'Bro' will continue to suffice nicely in New Zealand, thank you very much.

    In reply to Dude, Where's My Vocabulary?
    When I was taking sociolinguistics, I came across the research of this dude, Scott Kiesling, who studied the word "dude" by apparently sending out some surveys and spending a little time in frat basements: [www.pitt.edu]

    My conclusion is that "fuck" is far, far more versatile.

    While "fuck" is the go-to in my private life, I've won client loyalty with a well-timed "Duuuuuuude."

    In reply to Dude, Where's My Vocabulary?
    I am going to agree that this is an incredibly versatile term because, this past weekend, I realize that my best friend and his new boyfriend (both kinda closet cases) use "dude" as a term of endearment because they're not quite ready to say something more traditionally considered a pet name out loud yet. It's absolutely adorable. Dude is now one of my favorite words.

    Hmmm...I think swears are a little more versatile than "dude." You get your point across pretty well with a good, hearty curse word.

    I am glad that no one keeps tabs on my comments, because more often than not they lead off with "Dude." I have NO idea where it came from - it's just always there... and it's depressing. I much prefer "fuck."

    fuck is and always will be better. it's a good sounding word to say and the psychological benefits should not be discounted.

    My high school history teacher told us that you could use fuck (he said "the f word") as every party of speech. I still assert it cannot be a preposition.

    @Heydiddler: Sabbath Lily Hawks: it's a prepositional phrase - "of the clock" - used as a noun, described by the adjective number.

    Yes, I was a high school English teacher. ;-)

    this is a dead on description of 1/2 of the activist douchebag dudes I knew in college. Hearing about John Mayer's *ahem* expert swordsmanship *ahem* though, I would still take him for a test drive.


    I think with these kind of guys you have to realize that they are only good for a) drunken party hookups b) booty calls and NOT to be taken home to mama.
