Since i love calling everyone dude (i thought it wouldn’t last long but it does – everyone is named dude in my world now), i had to refine a little my use of the word. Honestly, it went pretty naturally to me to expand it uses – see for yourself how wide the possibilities are:
dude! – dudette!
dudelito! – dudelita!
dudelissimo! – dudelissima!
dudeheydude! – dudeheydudetta!
dudemedude! – dudettemedudetta!
and so it goes…
