	Temple of Duodenum: A Linguistic Study of the Word "Dude"
		Though dude is currently used to refer to a person of either gender, the suffix -ette was once added to denote a female “dude”* (this was more common during the 1980s, when the phrase “dudes** and dudettes” served the same purpose--though in a different register--as the phrase “ladies and gentlemen”).
		Dude!”), a gender-neutral* address (“Hey, Dude, can I try that?”), and a noun referring to a person (usually near the speaker’s age, and with a connotation of “cool** person”).
		“Dude” is used by both sexes and all ages (though it is more commonly used by males than females, and is rarely used by older generations) in casual social situations.

	Mark Damon Hughes: The DUDE Game System (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		DUDE is a common system for a number of extremely simple roleplaying games; the first of these is The Alan Smithee Project, the RPG of Hollywood gone wrong (as usual).
		DUDE uses regular playing cards for task resolution instead of the dice common in other games, and by holding different-sized hands, each player has more or less control over the results of their actions, rather than being at the mercy of blind chance.
		Even then, DUDE is not meant to be a deeply realistic game, so reappearing alive and well in the next episode, with a cliffhanger-style "saved at the last moment" rescue story, is perfectly fine if the Dealer and players don't mind.

	Dude - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In the 1960s and 1970s, the term "dude" was a popular part of fl slang (not to be confused with Ebonics) that was used by both males and females in referring to a male or males.
		Fake etymology of the word suggests that this slang term originally came from a term that meant a camel's penis, an infected hair on an elephant's buttocks, or a portmanteau of duds and attitude.
		The term dude became prominent in surfer culture in the early '60s, but it wasn't until the mid-'70s that it started creeping into the mainstream.

	Language Log: Duding out
		I must confess a little confusion over the Log's recent "dude" activity; the complexity must escape me. Grammatically, it's a token of address like any other: these all-dude conversations could easily have used any other form of address, and the only superficial surprise here arises because both speakers are using the same form.
		"dude" doesn't have this quality, probably because it isn't as obvious of a reference to a specific person; that may explain its popularity, since English doesn't have many similarly unloaded forms of address (occupational titles being awkward and "milord" and "milady" normally being inappropriate).
		The all-dude cartoons are a way of making that point, and I suspect that's why natives of dudespeak seem to like them even more than the members of pre-dude generations do.

	USATODAY.com - Dude, where's my linguist? (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		A linguist from the University of Pittsburgh has published a scholarly paper deconstructing and deciphering the word "dude," contending it is much more than a catchall for lazy, inarticulate surfers, skaters, slackers and teenagers.
		Historically, dude originally meant "old rags" — a "dudesman" was a scarecrow.
		In the late 1800s, a "dude" was akin to a "dandy," a meticulously dressed man, especially out West.

	Dude, do you know what you just said? (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		Dude becomes "cool" in the 1930s and 1940s with fl zoot suiters and Mexican-American pachuchos, and they use it among themselves.
		To decode "dude," Kiesling listened to conversations with fraternity members he taped in 1993 and had undergraduate students in sociolinguistics classes in 2001 and 2002 write down the first 20 times they heard "dude" and who said it during a three-day period.
		Kiesling says "dude" derives its power from something he calls cool solidarity: an effortless or seemingly lazy kinship that's not too intimate; close, dude, but not that close.

		This stereotype views the use of dude as unconstrained – a sign of inexpressiveness in which one word is used for any and all utterances.
		Indeed, the data presented here confirm that dude is an address term that is used mostly by young men to address other young men; however, its use has expanded so that it is now used as a general address term for a group (same or mixed gender), and by and to women.
		Dude is developing into a discourse marker that need not identify an addressee, but more generally encodes the speaker’s stance to his or her current addressee(s).

	Language Log: Dude
		He feels that the comic strip exhibits a stereotype that "views the use of dude as unconstrained – a sign of inexpressiveness in which one word is used for any and all utterances".
		Dude indexes a stance of effortlessness (or laziness, depending on the perspective of the hearer), largely because of its origins in the “surfer” and “druggie” subcultures in which such stances are valued.
		He draws these conclusions not only from his own intuitions as a native of dudespeak, but also from the Dude Corpus, which presents 520 real-life examples in the form of an Excel spreadsheet, and the Dude Survey, also available as a spreadsheet.

	Dude Ranch Vacations- Tips from an insider.
		Dude ranches are as contrasting in character and philosophy as the individualistic types who run them and in order to find a holiday destination to match your personal needs a number of factors must be carefully considered:
		There are superbly beautiful dude ranch locations in remote mountain valleys with steep and rocky trails that provide spectacular scenery but severely limit the pace and variety of horseback rides and other ranch activities.
		The "Dude Ranch" title encompasses an enormous variety of destinations from extremely luxurious resorts with five star accommodations and food and a variety of activities including golf, swimming, and tennis to authentic working cattle ranches with long days of independent riding, sleeping outdoors or in tents, and bacon and beans for dinner.

	Language Log: Dude, no way
		As a native speaker of Dude (originally Northern Californian, influenced recently by Southern Californian speech), I feel the need to address Mark's "injured finger" interpretation of the Zits cartoon.
		Note that there are 25 examples of dude followed by a question mark in Scott Kiesling's Dude corpus of 520+ examples; in all of these cases it is a tag on a separate sentence, not an utterance on its own.)
		James Thompson (another native Dude speaker and Parker & Stone watcher) tells me that he recalls understanding the all-dude exchange perfectly, and notes that the VHS copy he owns has other versions of the scene that are also understandable.

	The Mavens' Word of the Day
		dude came to mean an Easterner or a city slicker, and especially someone who vacations on a ranch--thus dude ranch.
		Dude also spawned quite a few odd derivatives, such as dudedom, dudeness, dudery, dudism, dudish, dudess and dudine--the last two meaning 'female dudes'.
		This is from a 1968 book called College Drug Scene: "And I got into symbolic logic and semantics with a cat who had studied with Korzybski and electronics from a dude who had an Associate of Arts degree in anthropology from 1941." The use of dude in direct address to a male began much earlier.

	Printculture : Dude.
		Dude came back to refer postively to a snappy dresser in slang among African Americans in the 1930s and 40s, and was, like cool, groovy, etc. eventually appropriated into mainstream culture.
		What is most interesting to me in the analyses by Rosenbaum, Kiesling and others is that “dude” has crossed over in the mainstream as a safely heterosexual indicator of comradery and intimacy for young men, a key to heterosexist masculinity.
		What happened to the “dude” of Bowie's (via Mott the Hoople) gay anthem “All the Young Dudes?” There seems to be a significant gulf between glam rock and the frat house.

		The DUDE is eminently practical as its running time and storage requirements are linear in the data size.
		Here the DUDE is seen to be effective in denoising two radically different types of binary images corrupted by a binary symmetric channel.
		The "universality" of the DUDE is embodied in its ability to learn about the underlying image type from just the noisy observation and to automatically apply what it has learned to arrive at a fairly close approximation of the appropriate image type dependent denoiser.

		Similarly, there exist myriad inflections of the word “dude”, all of which apparently have a specific meaning and appropriate usage, none of which made sense to me until recently.
		Just last week someone told me that they never thought they’d hear me say “dude”, and they told me as if they were proud of me, the way a parent might praise a child for speaking their first word.
		I can say this, though: if the first word out of any future child of mine is “dude”, dude, that kid’s going straight to an orphanage.

	The Big Lebowski - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Dude points to his raised toilet seat, modest and unashamedly shabby apartment and ringless finger as proof he is not the married multi-millionaire Jeffrey Lebowski they seek.
		The Dude reports his car (and rug, in separate incidents) stolen to the LAPD, and receives a message from the millionaire Lebowski's daughter, Maude (Julianne Moore), who says she took his rug and would like to arrange a meeting with the Dude.
		Charmingly naïve, he interrupts conversations between The Dude and Walter to inquire about the parts of the story he missed, evoking responses such as "you're out of your element" and "you're like a child who wanders into the middle of a movie." He is an avid bowler, and surfer in his younger days.

	CNN.com - 'Dell Dude' released after marijuana arrest - Feb. 11, 2003
		Benjamin Curtis, better known as the "Dell Dude" from the computer company's television commercials, was released from jail Monday after being arrested on Manhattan's Lower East Side on suspicion of trying to buy marijuana.
		The ad campaign was hugely successful for Dell Computer Corp. It featured Curtis' catchphrase, "Dude, you're getting a Dell!" Fan Web sites and "Dell Dude" memorabilia appeared soon after the launch of the campaign in the fall of 2000.
		Dell has recently moved away from the "Steven" campaign, though Curtis' relationship with Dell is "still in place" and he is featured in that role in other Dell commercials, according to Dell spokesman Venancio Figueroa.
