No my friend,.. A Dude is a guy, plain and simple. And we should never confuse the difference between that of a girl, a gal, a dame, a broad, a lassie, a chick, or a woman,.. with a guy?
They've got enough descriptive names as it is.
Hell, I wouldn't even let someone else call me a dude. That's too much of a California thing. And I hold my nose to most of what comes out of California anymore. A simple guy, or a man would suffice for me.
Though I have been called other things, even in Russian, by this torn up old whore named Cherry Lady.
Which reminds me,.. I left out 'bitch'.
