Dude

that's a name no one would self-apply where I come from

Let's go bowling.

Wassup?

Mark it, Dude.

Kate: I hate television - gives me headaches.

Becca: You know, there's so many magnetic waves travelling in the airspace because of TV and television, we're losing like ten times as many brain cells as we're supposed to.

Kate: Oh, please! The cow says blank? Three letters?

Becca: Dude!

Kate: Dude! I dont know, magnetic waves, brain cells, I don?t understand the connection between all that stuff.

Becca: You know what else I heard? Magnetic waves shrink silicone molecules.

both look down at breasts
Becca: Agghh! Oh, my God, turn it off!

Kate: It's not working!

Becca: It's backwards!

Kate: What do we do?

Becca: I dont know! Aghhhh!

I've always felt so self-conscious calling him that. "Dude, how are you? Hey, Dude, how was that movie last night?" Etc. It's like watching yourself in a bad comedy.

I have no idea if he goes to Lebowskifests.

And I bet he hates it. He's been razzed about his name all his life. I try not to go there with him.
