Does dude mean a hair on an elephants butt?

Answer 1

No. It is a noun. It is a slang word for a fellow or chap or man. It is english. It originally meant a 'stupid' person from the Eastern US traveling West. They were city dwellers that didn't know the proper ways to live in the country, so 'dude' was originally used as an insult.

Today, it a casual greeting, used mostly amongst people born after 1975, or those with backgrounds in Surfing or other outdoor sports, or those in California and Hawaii.

Occasionally, elementary school children will use a common 'innocent' word to mean something vulgar. Then they can 'swear' or 'cuss' with their friends, and manipulate their parents or teachers. Remember that words have meanings as to how they are used. If a child wants to swear using different words, the punishment should be the same as using regular swear words.
no. this is an urban myth. it was first used as a term for a wealthy, well dressed man. it was a term of endearment.

Answer 2

Of course not! Dude is just a recent slang word.

^^^^^^^^

The above is not entirely true, the word Dude has been used for nearly a century.

It was a word first heard roughly around 1883 in New York City, New York, was originally used in reference to the devotees of the aesthetic craze at the time, but was later used to refer to city slickers and easterners vacationing on the west coast. Surfers began using it around 1970, which was used to address any male. Nowadays, it's used much in the same way as the surfers, though is much less confined to the 'surfer' population.

Some clearer definitions are as follows

Dude

- Noun

1. A man excessively concerned with his clothes, grooming, and manners.

2. Slang . fellow; chap.

3. A person reared in a large city.

Answer 3

Oh, that's a funny thought! But no, my friend. "Dude" is actually a casual way to address someone, like saying "hey man" or "hello friend." It's a friendly term used to refer to a person, not a hair on an elephant's behind. Just happy little words to brighten your day!

Answer 4

Oh, dude, seriously? No, dude doesn't mean a hair on an elephant's butt. It's just a casual way to address someone, like "Hey, dude." But hey, if you want to start a trend and use it that way, go for it!

Answer 5

No, the term "dude" does not refer to a hair on an elephant's butt. "Dude" is a slang term that originated in the United States in the late 19th century, used to refer to a man or a guy. It has since evolved to be more broadly used to address someone in a casual or friendly manner, regardless of gender. The origin of the term is believed to come from the Scottish word "dude" meaning "fastidious man" or the Old English word "dudde" meaning "ragged clothing."

Answer 6

Oh honey, no. "Dude" is a slang term for a man, typically used to address someone in a casual or friendly way. It has absolutely nothing to do with elephant butt hair, bless your heart.

Answer 7

No, a dude is a pretentious, overly-dressed man, typically in the Old West. To surfers, a dude is just a guy.
