Don't call me "dude"

My kids don't do that to me but some of their friends have a bad habbit of it and I always tell them Im not a guy,lol.

@rajo14 I do hate being addressed as or referred to as "dude". I have a name and if people don't know my name they are welcome to refer to me respectfully as sir .

Some youngsters are becoming so disrespectful if they do use this word, dude.

Kids talk crazy . My grandson was calling me "girlfriend" a few weeks ago. Very annoying, but he always goes back to saying "Mom-mom". Thank goodness.

In the UK a lot of young men now seem to call women 'mate'. It's a bit odd.

I do not have a son/daughter yet but in the future, I would not want them to address me like that, even if it is only a joke or some trend that they are following.

I hate being called dude. My man does it sometimes when drunk. My daughter says yo ma... Irritates me so much.

In my area it's all about the:"bruh" Which is supposedly for brother, but it gets used toward females just as much as males. Example sentences: person 1: "I lost my keys." person 2: "BRUH! " or person 1: "Bruh, why you wearin my sweater, bruh? " person 2: "BRUH!" My daughters refer to me as "bruh" whenever they're fixing to share something that has frustrated them in some way like, "Bruh, my teachers gave us too much homework!"

I think it is wrong to use "dude" when talking to others.

Some kids thought its cool to say that word... Many teenagers are using them.

My sentiments exactly! Welcome aboard! I hope you will enjoy your stay on here...

Mean to tell me that someone's mother's name is I? Tickle me pink.

I don't suppose it would make you feel any better for them to call you 'dudette."
