Don't call me dude, as they say
So "dude" is, like, officially over.
I'll be closing down all communications while I find an alternative catch-word.
Go and read this sweet sweet piece on Slate.com, it is quite the deconstruction.
And also, I'm now paranoid about my lack of mad pop culture skillz.
Aren't we all?

Do what I do - embrace the ancient sayings. Several years ago, my daughter Sapphire (then aged 3), looked at her Dad (Love Chunks), patted him gently on the knee and said, "You're not a bad old stick, Dad."
Now aged nine, she has half the class saying stuff like 'Crumbs', 'Crikey', 'Heck' or
'It's better than a poke in the eye with a burnt stick','fellas' and 'blokes' so at least I've enjoyed a couple of years before the 'like, like' stuff has crept in.
Yes.
I managed to completely unbalance a stakeholder CEO recently by using the phrase
"up to pussy's bow"
Clearly he is not a Kath and Kim fan.
That's like, totally Mugabe.
Dude! Not dude! You can take anything else, but you take away Dude and I'm screwed!
It's enough to drive one to bad poetry. I'm joining you in the ending of all communication until I find another word ...
Dude!
Like, Dude is over?!?
That's OK, I'm so over anyway!
My favourite du jour: "Well, I'll go to the foot of my stairs!"
Have you been drinking the Rosenbaum Kool-Aid? I don’t want to get up in your grill here, but ‘dude’ should be getting nothing but mad props.
Stay classy,

I didn't ever think that dude had started... don't tell me I missed the boat?
My brother say 'bro'. Like, 'how are you, bro?'
They're so hard core (ha)
BF,
I DON'T EVEN KNOW WHAT YOU MEAN....so vast are the potential meanings for your new pop culture offering.
BBT,
Really? I like to think I'm usually quite a distance away from such a thing.
Helen,
No you're not ; )
INCraig,
Yes. Yes, I have. I'm throwing it under a bus, I'll tell you that for nothing.
Rosanna,
It may not have. But I have been exceedingly guilty of its overuse. I think (as I've already observed on Kath Lockett's blog) that it may be a form of tourettes.
