Answer 1

Dude it happens a lot!!!

Types Of people that use the word

Edit: Dudette isn't used as often as dude. I've heard it once or twice. I think dude has become more of a unisex term. I've heard girls use it with other girls as well as with guys and vice versa.

Edit: For Mr. Non American tingpa

I know lots of people from different countries that use it so you stand corrected!!!

Edit:

Dude I can't believe I had to do this. But since a definition was required here are two websites that clearly define the word, its usage and its origin.
