My earliest memories of it are of the amused dismissiveness embodied in the "dude ranch," a ranch in the American West I think from just before my time where city slickers from the East could spend their money and their vacations pretending to be cowboys. Then came the "dude" of your time, then the "dude" of slacker lexicon, which has evolved into the almost-meaningless, all-purpose use of today.<br /><br />I must confess that hearing young Indian dudes calling each other dude would be a highlight of my life.<br /> ==============<br /> Detectives Beyond Borders<br />"Because Murder Is More Fun Away From Home"<br /> <a href="http://www.detectivesbeyondborders.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow">http://detectivesbeyondborders.blogspot.com/</a>Peter Rozovskyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09977933481463759162noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3579335055133416337.post-32403264355501941422009-07-13T12:10:34.351+05:302009-07-13T12:10:34.351+05:30WELL SAID DUDE! :)WELL SAID DUDE! :)magiceyehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17848851692951192508noreply@blogger.com
