One of the most over-used word in the male dictionary. I catch myself saying it a lot... Typical phrase: "What's up dude?" Got any words or phrases that you abuse?
"How's it going?" It sounds lame, there is no real answer, it doesn't elicit any good conversational topics, etc.
"Whassup, b****?" My wife doesn't seem to like that one very much My dad is a "you know" person...I swear, he puts "you know" after every fourth or fifth word. It seems like it wouldn't matter much, but it gets REALLY annoying after a while... I feel like screaming at him, "NO, I DON'T KNOW!!!!"
I say 'man' too often. "yea man, I don't know." "hey man, whats up." I've tried to switch it up and say 'bro' or 'cuz' from time to time. But it always comes back to 'man'.
Mrs Smeg and I both use the word Dude way to much when talking to each other, even when other people are around, like Dude do the dishes, at a guess ireckon Dude will find it's way into the wedding ceremony
Like I use that word more than ANY other word, in conversing and in writing. I use it even when it isn't necessary.
I'm a "dude" and "man" man. I also say the word "quality" too much. Like instead of the word "cool" I will say "quality." Dude: "Hey Raven, you just had sex with Jennifer Connelly!" Raven: "Quality." Like that.
I used dude too much as well. I never have to worry about it slipping past my wife though, who never has a problem of reminding me I say it too much. Lord help me when I call her "dude".
One phrase that I dont use but I hear alot up here is "Are you online?" I heard some cashier at a store ask someone this. I thought they were just talking about internet access, but it turns out people in ny dont wait in line, they wait on line. Every time someone asks me that, I think to myself, how the hell can I be online, I'm standing here in a store waiting in a line.
Ah yes, I have heard this as well...but only in movies. Blazing Saddles specifically. "Chewing gum on line, eh? I hope you brought enough for everybody!" "I didn't know there would be so many!"
i definitely throw dude around a lot. not in the surfer dude way but just the normal dude way. i don't seem to say "like" that much anymore but i think i used to, although not as bad as a lot of people. it's amazing how annoying somebody saying "like" a lot can get. i also say "indeed" a lot when talking with my roommate.
If anyone else here saw that crappy Lil' Romeo concert at the Rockets' New Year celebration, you'd agree that "alright, alright" when it's said every six seconds is VERY VERY annoying . . . alright alright I use "Man" too much . . . "man, that was a bad game tonight . . . I'm gonna go see Galactic tomorrow man . . . man, they are a bad-ass jam band man . . . " exactly . . .
I admit it...I use "man" constantly...either that or I say "dude" a lot..when we were out and f-ed up, it would sound like.. Guy1: Dude... Guy2: dUUUde.. Guy3: duDDe... speakiing of which..... 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...
