I just had to look up the meaning of "dude"...
In the popular press of the 1880s and 1890s, "dude" was a new word for "dandy" – an extremely well-dressed male, a man who paid particular importance to how he appeared.
The usage of "dude" was still in use in the 1950s in America, as a word for a tourist — of either gender — who attempts to dress like the local culture but fails.
In the early 1960s, dude became prominent in surfer culture as a synonym of guy or fella.
The more general meaning of "dude" started creeping into the mainstream in the mid-1970s. Today, "Dude" is generally used informally to address someone.
Interesting!
Oh! What is wrong with
's
