Definition: A man, generally a younger man.
Alright class, settle down and let’s take a look! You’ve got your dictionary open, good job indeed, It tells us "dude" is simply a man, you see. But it's more than just a label, don’t you agree? “Dude” has evolved, a little bit of glee, Used mostly by younger folks, for you and me! Think of it as friendly, casual and light – A way to say “hey!” with all your might. It's often used informally, don’t you think? Like saying "cool" or "that's a blink!" So while the dictionary gives us the core, “Dude” carries meaning more than just before! Does that make sense, my students bright? Any questions to share?
