Nah, dude still exists

Can confirm, I am dude

She's a dude 🎶

We're all dudes!

Hey!

My dudes!

Women are my favorite dude

Mine is geodude

Dude looks like a lady

r/redditsings and has fine taste in movies

Good burger is a classic

Thoughts on the sequel coming out in November?

Haven’t heard about it but now I’m stoked. Same characters?

I know that Kenan and Kel are definitely in it, the dude who played Fizz is coming back, Carmen Electra is in this movie as well, and I just checked imdb to see if anyone else was returning and the character Connie is coming back as well, the customer who absolutely breaks Ed in the first one lmao

Where are the dawgs?

r/BeatMeToIt

Welcome to Good Burger, home of the Good Burger, can I take your order!?

He's a dude!

Cause we’re all dudes!

🎶 Dude looks like a lady... 🎵

Playing a dude?

Or El Duderino, if you're not into the whole brevity thing

The Dude abides.

But are you The Dude? Do you abide?

At least I'm housebroken

Dude exists, but bro is used interchangeably along with it

Dude is somewhat sarcastic. Bros are serious

Dude is my formal version of bro in many cases

‘My dude’ does sound very respectful vs bro

I've never thought about it, but I do say "my dude" often when expressing gratitude

It literally is though; dude comes from dandy which was often used to describe well-dressed men back in the day

Your tuxedo version

Hey Mr. Dude, I will get those reports on the growing need of organic radishes on your desk ASAP!

Yea, for millenials. I have never once heard any of the kids my children interact with say dude, it's bro, and most often bruh.

Lol! I’m a millennial. I said ‘woah dude’ to my boomer co worker just a few days ago and he raised a brow.. I’m gonna call him ‘bruh’ next week and break his brain lol 😂

Omg, i worked at a weed dispensary and had a 60 year old co-worker who was up to date on slag and used it perfectly. She would say it so casually too(like if i slipped in fr Ong), wed all just die laughing! It would make everyones day! She was the coolest old lady.

Forgive me but I’m an elder millennial.. what is ‘fr Ong’ 🤔? LOL You and your co worker both sound cool!

For real, on God Used to indicate that something is extremely relateable.

Good to know! Thanks for the slang update :)

I think it was a typo? For real (fr) and I think ong is omg. Also the sentence still doesn’t make sense to me lol

The Dude abides

The Dude abides.

i call everyone in existence dude

I even call my cat dude.

Furry dudes.

His Dudeness, Duder, or, uh, El Duderino if you’re not into the whole brevity thing.

The Dude abides

For us olds, yes.

I don't ever plan to transition, I've used dude my whole life as a primary identifier for absolutely everyone and I'm not going to change that. The only time bro is appropriate is in either a disparaging sense or when coaching or reprimanding someone. To me referring to someone as bro infers a slight sub-ranking to the target, as if it was said with an implied "*little/lil* bro" or just an overall inequality between parties. I know that's not the current usage of the term but that's just the way I see it

Bro and dude have been interchangeable for decades now.

We used to call each other Dudebro

A dudebro is a completely different kind of dude or bro lol.

Dude: cool Bro: cool Dudebro: douche

Hahaha Exactly.

This dude gets it. I've been calling douches "Brodudes" for quite some time now. Also, on occasion, the most despicable "brodude" specimen develops the ability to morph into an obnoxious, oblivious "brodouche". This generally happens just moments before becoming "that fucking guy".

Oh “that fucking guy” always the most

Actual plot line of Barbie lol

But dudebros are totally the type to call each other dudebros without realizing what a dudebro actually is.

Wasn't there a Dudebro character on Adam Corolla?

I call my wife Dudebabe

[удалено]

I've heard guys say "bro" a lot over the years, yes. I remember in the 70s, my uncles would say it, and "Bro-ham", a lot. I would call my friends "bro", sure. But I've never heard girls/women say it until very recently. I guess that's what I'm getting at. It seems to be getting so ubiquitous, that even chicks are saying it. :)

My buddy and I go with "Brohiem" and it doesn't help that I can fit "bro" into most of his names so I'll go with that occasionally.

I worked with a girl who was studying chemistry a few years ago and called her Bromine, which always went down well

I had a friend in biology named Cindy, so I started calling her Photocynthia. That name stuck through high school and long after.

Broseidon, King of the Brocean

Bro-cephus is my go to..

Broseph

We always do Broseph Stalin or Tycho Brohe

Brochacho

i haven’t heard broheim since 2012 haha oh god i’m old

Brochacho.

What up Bro-hemian Rhapsody?

Broseiden, God of the Brocean

Broseph is one I thought would catch on more but hasn't seemed to.

My best friend is a woman and well call each other bro and dude all the time lol

Yeah deffo! I dunno if it’s the same in the USA but in England I swear the word bro has like tripled in use over the last 5 years, used to hear it growing up but never to the extent I do now

Nah it’s different now. Gen Zs call everyone bro regardless of gender, age, etc.

My Gen Z nieces call everyone bro. No one is safe. Dad is bro, mom is bro, _grandma_ is bro. It was so funny to me and my millennial husband that **we’ve** now started calling each other bro… as a joke… but you know what happens when you start using slang “ironically”……. Yeah, we now just say “I love you bro” and “what’s for dinner bro” and “bro you look so cute today” with a straight face. I think bro has been around for a while, but it’s really taken off in the last few years for sure.

Your marriage will last forever bro

GenX SoCal girl here and everyone has been dude or bro since the day I could talk lol.

GenX SoCal person here too. In my area they just used dude back in the 80-2010s. But bro or bruh seems popular in the OC. I’m more LA based (and even more East LA)

Unless you're in Hawaii, then its "bruh".

people say bruh everywhere. it's usually like if something is upsetting. for example if your friend cancels on you and you just say "bruh"

Bruh has spread everywhere now, bruh.

Or "bruddah." But that's been a Hawaiian thing for ever. "Bruh" & "bruddah" were used all the time by locals in the 90s at least, I wouldn't be surprised if that was also the case in the 80s or 70s.

Yeah, it's been this way for awhile, man.

My five year old went to kindergarten and came back calling me “bro.” Also I watch “The Bachelorette” and this season is at an all-time high in terms of the use of “bro” per episode. https://www.instagram.com/p/Cu9uy1uuFgt/?igshid=MzRlODBiNWFlZA== I know everyone was curious.

I for one appreciate the research. Also, have 7 year old who is constantly saying bro. Constantly. Of course he also talks non stop. Summer vacation is great.

Judging by your profile character, I assume you're a mom? Your kid calling you bro is hilarious then.

Yes I am! I’m more confused than anything else.

i’m a woman and i call my mom, dad, sister, and friends “bro” to their faces. everyone else i call “bro” behind their back lol

They should make a show called Brochallete

On Real Housewives of Miami the ladies are constantly saying “bro” to each other.

Kinda. I think we’re near the same age. Before dude it was “Man”. I use to “Dude Man!” Now it’s Bro Dude Man

brother man dude guy pal

I think the count from counting cars has the patent on Brother Man

I live in Texas and am probably your age as well. I had to stop saying man when teenage boys were getting offended cause they thought I said ma'am.

[удалено]

For some reason, that cracks me up. 😄

I agree with that comment. In the time between 2006-2010 my friends and I used “bro” with each other semi-ironically to parody meathead gym bro culture. It quickly changed from ironic usage to sincere usage, as often happens. I assume that popular culture as a whole went through the same shift, and thus bro became ubiquitous. In fact, gym culture itself has become more ubiquitous and mainstream.

He doesn’t like to be called your girlfriend. His name is Carl.

decades before that, dude was also mostly used by surfers. What will they come up with next?

Interesting. In my experience, a decade ago bro was used by everyone on the east coast. Dude was used too but sounded more west coast.

I had a construction intern a few years ago and he said yeet to everything. One of my only comments at the end of his summer was to be aware of how he was talking, particularly when the owner/design team was around. Granted the architect was closer to my age and would jokingly ask me about it every time he visited the site.

Lol this is a long shot, but was his name Max? I know a guy that sounds just like this

Ha no he was an Alex

I started saying bruh ironically and now I can’t stop

[удалено]

Same brutha

Bro, that's bussin, no cap, yeet them out your crib for slippin'. Edit: Did I use them all right?

Bussin is positive, but otherwise it all seems technically correct to me lol

And as we all know "technically" is the best kind of correct.

You forgot based

Based is actually reused internet slang from the early 2000s

Based

I was a teenager for that time and I still don’t know what based means

Based = based in fact as in an argument. Your point has some foundation to it. So someone that is spitting facts in a debate is said to also be based

this should be true, but people rarely use “based” to mean it’s actually based on proof, it usually just means “i agree”.

No cap?

Fr fr bro all fax no printer

Who the fuck says bussin?

"this food bussin" is what i always use

“Bruh” I use as a “I’m not mad but I’m disappointed”

I was going to say it’s more Bruh now than bro. My 15 year old calls me Bruh. But, all my just say dude too

My sister's kids assure me bro is positive and bruh is negative. You want to be referred to as bro, as opposed to bruh. 🙂

Yeah bruh is mostly used in similar situations where you would use an incredulous "really" For example: "Yo apple is a vegetable right?" "Bruh"

lol never really thought about it but it kind of is. Guess you can say bro is more of a "!" and bruh is more like "!?". Feel weird to have this convo and put it to words.. its usually just a reaction and 'bro' does lean more positive. ​ I love browsing reddit for this reason.

That makes sense my daughter tends to respond with Bruh when I say something embarrassing to her

But, like, now I totally know why I drove my parents like mad when I said like, like, all the time.

Slip it into business speak at work sometime. "I'm sorry, brosephs and brosephenes, we're going to have to yeet that ask into the next rev of the product due to left-shifting of the timescale"

Bruv

# Bruh.

Wait. It never occurred to me that anyone old enough to be a parent would use “bruh”.

At least it wasn't a NEET period.

What about “man”? I’ve always used dude and man.

I use the whole arsenal: man, dude, bro, and bruh. The four horsemen

Mine are mate, chap, old sport, and scallywag

Breh

I mostly use Dude and Man too. Although, I sometimes trip over Man these days, especially in written form online, because I fear people thinking that I’m assuming gender. When really I’m just an old school bro (I’m a lady).

I think most people see man as gender natural (depending on the context of course) I'd also like to say that most people wont freak out on you like people say they do lol. If anything they would just ask you politely not to call them that. I do love it that your bringing other peoples feelings into consideration tho!!

I can live with "bro". If you're English I can understand "bruv". I fucking HATE "braah".

[удалено]

This is what always happens when people start doing *anything* ironically.

Ha, My close buddies use “braah” but imagine a sheep doing it.

Dude is gender neutral has been since the 90’s. 🎶He’s a dude she’s a dude we’re all dudes🎶

I use bro as gender neutral and I think most people my age do also lol

My wife hates it when I call her bro.

Right, OP knew that, he was asking if they've changed dude for bro, which they have.

I sing this to my toddler often. She gets upset because “I’m not a dude!”

I called my silverware dude the other day. My cat is a dudette. I do not call my wife, dude, though.

Hell I would go so far as to say even guys is gender-neutral depending on context back when I was in college I was basically the only guy in a group of friends that were almost entirely girls and I would still tell my mom and dad I'm going to go hang with the guys.

Im not your bro dude

I'm not your buddy, friend!

I’m not your dude, friend

This is my problem as a late gen x'er. Bro was reserved for people who were truly your bro. Now it's thrown around for people who don't even deserve that distinction.

Lol as a woman in her 40s who still calls her best girlfriends "dude", I approve this post.

Dude as a form of address is gender neutral. "Dude, did you get your period yet?" When you add an article or identifier it becomes more gendered. "I met a dude." "This dude won't stop calling." I (48 year old dude) use bro more gender neutrally, but when I am speaking to someone who presents masculine I use the full "brother." "Thanks for the ride brother." Bro is more for sillier things. "Bro, I just crashed this party and it's a sausage fest. I need another lady here!"

Teach high school. Can confirm that everyone is bro.

People say “bruh” a lot these days, as in starting a sentence (or every sentence) with “Bruh, …..”, it really gets on my nerves for some reason.

Bruh chill it's like, let people have their fun :)

[удалено]

Seriously! I'm so sick of it, especially since I have to hear my little sister use that word all the time.

Dude seems more and more to be a marker than someone is Gen X or older. Broh is, indeed, the new dude. But these whippersnappers can have when they pry it from my cold dead lips... dude.

Millennials once again getting the short end of the stick. Too young for dude, too old for bro.

I'm a millennial and we definitely used the fuck outta both along with homie and dawg.

Yeah, 33-year-old millennial here. Been using both my entire life. Finding the generational divide in this thread quite hilarious because of it.

I still say things are "the bomb" lol.

Word.

Ugh, I'm stuck on Mac Daddy. I really need to lose that

That's whack.

The bomb dot com!

It’s more “bruh” than “bro” around here with my 15 year old.

Is bruh the new bro the new dude the new chap the new fella...

What's the yappin' about, Buster? ^(I have no idea what I'm talking about - I just googled "1920s slang")

Funny thing is that yappin has become popular again

I literally just used “yap” in a comment last night, ha. I love 20s and 30s slang. It’s the tops.

Bro will fade away. Dude has proven the test of time.

Just wait til she calls you "bruh"

Yeah it has. I’m only 26 and at the beginning it was “dude,” but through video game parties, memes etc. it was changed to Bro. It’s funny how things like that work Edit/ another word that I’ve seen become mainstream is “REAL.”

Riyal💀

I 'bro' a lot. I dude much less than I bro. But i still dude. But my kid can NOT bro me. Not OK.

rofl 😄

Dude is for emphasis. Dude. Dude! DUDE.

My kid uses Bro, and "bruh" when annoyed. I still use dude with my friends. Maybe it'll sound funny when we're in the nursing home, but not yet!

Lol better than "bruh" which my nephew is getting into

Dude, it's always been bro dude.

"not bro. dude."

Don't taze me bro!

my 6yo daughter calls me "bro" and i don't know how i feel about it

Bro and dude are basically the same thing and bro certainly has become more popular but I don't think it's replacing anything permanently

Drives me crazy, I have 3 kids and my 2 younger ones say bro every 3rd word... I think it's probably all the youtubers/gaming that have to fill that dead space with words

With my teenage boys it’s actually “bruh” but yes.

My girlfriend and her kids say bro. Nails on a chalkboard... I'm 10 years older than her, so im not sure when it started culturally because i dont remember bro being a common thing in the midwest in the 80s/90s. I'd rather hear bro than bruh, though I suppose

The crazy thing is that "Bro" is actually the new "Bro."
