DUDE

or DUE

A substitute for a person’s name,

and the father of all modern Southern

California slang. “Dude” is rooted in

surf culture but is now used universally.

Originally used just between guys, it

is now gender-neutral. If used with a

period, it means, “I agree.”

Dude, that

new ramen

place in

Truckee is

epic.
