Dude
意味: A casual way to address someone, regardless of gender, or an exclamation of surprise.
Originally meaning a well-dressed man in the 1800s, 'dude' evolved through surfer culture in the 1960s-70s to become one of the most versatile words in American English. It can be a greeting, an exclamation, or simply a way to get someone's attention. The tone and context change its meaning entirely.
