How about the use of "Dude". I must admit i do use that, but thats only in conversation with friends as slang. However, people from Southern California at my school use it FAR too often. They say things like: Dude! I met this fukkin awsome dude who like gave me the phone number to another dude, and dude get this, this dudes gonna give me a free surfboard. Damn dude, i bet u cant believe that dude, or me, dude! Well the above is over exaggeration but it could be possible here LOL. ____________________________________________________________________ "Bailando en el fuego con un gran deseo" - India ____________________________________________________________________
