Seriously, Stop

I will kick in the solar plexus the next person who says "dudette" unironically. I realize this means I will probably be delivering my vengeance unto an adult, and a member of a generation currently stranded between the cultural relevance of their children and the deification of their parents.

But please, for the love of all that is good, stop saying "dudette." You sound old, and weird, and just generally creepy and out of touch.

Please stop.

I s "dude" still ok?

Yeah, I say "dude" all the time. The grievance I'm airing here is with those unsettling people who say things like "All you dudes and dudettes" as if it's (a) normal or (b) a way to sound hip and playfully at ease with their audience. And it's not. It's just weird.

My mom still says "dudette" when I call her "dude" - but she IS old, weird and semi-out-of-touch. What are your feelings on that?

No way, your mom is totally hot. And tell her to call me.

You’re going to be assaulting lot of Christian Camp counselors. So thanks in advance.
