Dude means nice guy. Dude means a regular sort of person.

11. Oh God
"You know what I'm sayin"

If you watch sports most of the athletes work that in like every fourth word.

And just to show I'm not a bigot...

"Gag me with a spoon"

And my favorite;

"Don't be hatin'"

God if I don't like something or someone now all of a sudden I'm a hater.

Actually, my choice is "prolly". ARGH! Are we so lazy and televisionized that we shorten every word for our convenience???

I also hate "OMG!" on netspeak.

22. Awesome! (Dude having already been mentioned.)
Everything is so awesome now. Ugh.

And I actually had a young technician working for me a few years back who thought she was going to get away with calling me dude. As in, "Dude, my blot looks awesome." I quickly disabused her of that notion.

59. Must disagree there....the best episode of Chappelle's show is
the one with Clayton Bigsby the blind black white supremacist....

I love it when that racist's head explodes when the audience sees that Clayton Bigsby is black.

-really tired of this one, go away Paris!

"cuddy"

- I have no idea if this was a regionalized slang or not. Last heard it circa 1992-93, remember kids using this one.
