http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dude
A few choice excerpts:
- "Dude" may also be used alone in a sentence denoting a feeling of surprise, happiness, disappointment, amazement or other emotions.[2] The word might also be used practically anywhere in a sentence in order to convey such sentiments in conversation. Example: 'Listen dude, we have to go'
- The word as used in contemporary culture, typically American, may have had its origins in the Irish, and indeed, dúd in modern Irish is a derogatory term for a foolish person.
- The word "Dude" may be an abbreviated form of the word "Doodle," which, in the eighteenth century, meant a simpleton or a fool.
Awesome, dude.
