Like the German "doch," it is used for emphasis. It can be an exclamation ("Dude!"), a noun ("check out the dude"), a verb (to "get duded up," as in dressing formally or wearing socks), or an adjective ("a dude cover"). It is connected to the term "cool."<BR/><BR/><B>dude</B> <BR/>1883, "fastidious man," New York City slang of unknown origin. The vogue word of 1883, originally used in ref. to the devotees of the "aesthetic" craze, later applied to city slickers, especially Easterners vacationing in the West (<I>dude ranch</I> first recorded 1921). Surfer slang application to any male is first recorded c.1970. Female form <I>dudine</I> (1883) has precedence over <I>dudess</I> (1885). <BR/><BR/>http://www.etymonline.com/index.php?l=d&p=19<BR/><BR/>Do not look up "ducky" at this site.TheOFloinnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14756711106266484327noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1695280310697378421.post-14747976475772046082008-05-11T17:02:00.000-07:002008-05-11T17:02:00.000-07:00Hmmm... =Everything= falls to the Law of Diminish...Hmmm... =Everything= falls to the Law of Diminishing Returns, Nancy?<BR/><BR/>Having children?
