The Evolution of "Dude"
« on: February 11, 2016, 11:14:18 PM »
The evolution of the word "dude".

I think I started using it a little in the 80's and much more in the 90's and thereafter. In Junior High and High School in the 70's, we all said "Hey man" instead of "hey dude". :)

"so I ended up getting the above because I didn't want to make a whole production of sticking something between my knees and cranking. To me, the cranking on mine is pretty effortless, at least on the coarse setting. Maybe if someone has arthritis or something, it would be more difficult for them." - Ben
