      I do too and I need to tone it down. I've said it to women before. Even my own Mom once or twice.

      He actually turned to anyone in earshot an said "YOU ALL JUST HEARED HE CALLED ME DUDE, RIGHT?" totally insulted by a word I used daily.
      That's kind of weird. I wonder if he was just playing it up because he knew he had nothing else to shut you down with.

      One word I want to bring back: tenderoni.

          I was watching MST3K legend of Boggy Creek 2 and then saw you avatar of TVs Frank and it flipped me out for just a minute!

          And lately I've been using the word bananas to describe crazy situations and I need to stop it.

                I use the word 'dickens', and that hasn't been used in popularity since like the 50's.
                "What the dickens?!"



                Also, I suspect 'awesome' and 'dude' will be engraved somewhere on my tombstone.

                  I use Awesome, Totally Awesome, Cool, Wicked too much. Hellish is an old slang term I should use more often just because i like it and don't use it enough. Old, outdated terms I never used even when they were "in" are Far-out, Groovy and DUDE.

                  DUDE has made a comeback or never died, but a lot of younger people use DUDE and it doesn't matter whether you are male or female, everyone is a DUDE. Just heard it tonight while I was getting gas.

                  Two younger women getting their supplies for the night, a twelve of Budlight, some Gatoraid, some Candy, Cigarettes and a pint of Something? What a Combo. The one girl says to the other girl "DUDE i cant believe you drank all of that last night, i would've been puking".The other replies, "I took a Xanax so i was good".

                    Gosh for me. In fact, I wrote it to my crush and had to think twice if I was going to send it.

                      I've never seen that one, but I'd bet it's totally tubular.

                      One phrase we need to bring back is "She curses like a fishwife."

                        You can totally watch it on youtube! One of my fav lines is by Crow "excuse me but do you sell turquoise plastic pith helmets." When you see it. . .

                            I say "cool" entirely too much. I say "groovy" too, but in a Bruce Campbell way.

                                Hmm, I don't think "dude" ever left te lexicon since the 60s, so I wouldn't count that. I gues mine would be "no duh" or the more polish version "no doy hey"
