I want to punch every younger checkout line kid who refers to me as "buddy" - I am angry just writing about this. However, I am for the increased use of the word "dude".
Epic. Used on the reg by mainstream kulture, it has officially lost it's meaning. Stoked as well. I don't use either word. Dude is good in my book.
I agree, I can't stand when I hear a parent yelling for the kid named aiden…gives me angry thoughts. Although I did hear a kid named Easton the other day on the beach..pretty cool name.
