It's very hard to explain to younger people that to GenX "dude" as an interjection is not gendered. Nor always human.
My kid gets it.
We will dude a pair of shoelaces that snaps.
The TV when it suddenly- pixels.
The power goes out? Dude.
Dude is a one syllable shorthand for proclaiming WTF. In humor; in offense.
It's a glorious word.

@Shelter I have found that we Gen Xers need to be VERY careful about our use of the term “hook-up”.

@Boyceaz @Shelter I ran into that. Someone translated it to "have sex with" when I meant "connect".

@Boyceaz @Shelter Yeah, I used that phrase around a couple of teens that used to work for me, and when I saw their eyebrows, I recalled I had to be more specific. 😂 🤣 😂
