When did it stop being "Man" and start being "Dude" and what is the age cutoff for each phrase.

Then the question becomes when does a "man" or "dude" become "pop?"

Another one I have been hearing is 'Got it, Boss'. Not sure if that is an age slam.

Anyone notice?....Most users of the term "dude" seem to be very 420 friendly. :roflblack:

There can only be one Dude: "The Dude" in the movie "The Big Lebowski" (https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0118715/) :yes:

Dudes wear cowboy clothes, but can't ride a horse.

I thought dude stopped awhile back, and man before it. As far as Boss goes, it's typically because of knowledge, not age. I think Brah is one of the more recent terms.

I agree with Gwolf's answer.

Oh, let me not forget dawg, which is still used.

Rogue,

Not to be sexist, but what are some female term usages?

I remember the old Dell computer commercials ... "It's a Dell Dude!" The kid got busted for pot and lost his contract with Dell. Actually, I think I remember hearing it first during Vietnam.

I am pretty sure Dell wasn't selling PCs while we was in Vietnam.

I must be " pops " as I've never called anybody " dude " If I need to get a strangers attention I call them "hay buddy" or "sir". If it's a woman it's always " mam" or " miss". If I know a person's name ( which I'll forget within 5 minutes ) I call them by their name of course. Maybe it's my age or demeanor but I don't get called " dude" either.

Rogue,

This is something in the Girl World that some find perplexing. Girls in a group referring to themselves as a group of 'guys'. Example, a girl says, "Hey guys, lets go to the club" when talking to her female friends. From what I hear, that is a Northern thing. Southern girls don't get it.

Girls also refer to their female friend as 'girl friend' as appose to a guy talking about his significant other as his 'girlfriend'. Note the space between the words.

Thanks for making me postpone my lunch to read this :thumbup:
Just remember there are more than one kind of dude. There is dude, dooood, and of course dooooooooooood. Also I think the term boss came along for people like me who never can remember anyone's name.

Some of those names would shock the PC crowd these days. I wonder what fathers are calling their boys today.

That would depend on the reason they called them to start with. If the kid did something good they would be called son. If the kid is in some kind of trouble, they are called by their full name, just like it appears on their birth certificate.
