Stop! Please! Ban ‘Dude’

If I hear one more adult male or female say ‘Dude’ let along some kid, I will probably behave equally ignorant. What is it with ‘Dude’? Only ‘Bro’ and ‘Dawg’ have almost risen to the level of ‘Dude’ on my American lexicon contempt meter. That friggin’ Budwieser beer campaign is making me twitch. Ok, I feel better…at least momentarily.
