Dude
Oh dear, another prompt I needed to look up.
Looking it up didn't help at all. Apparently, it is a 'form of address'. Well, that's obvious but I thought 'dude' insinuated more about the person.
I'll have to give up with that one and just say thanks for the freewrite!
You're right, "dude" isn't easy to define. I hadn't thought about that until I read your freewrite. I can come up with tons of examples, but a definition, that's tough.
One of my friends and I use it to begin every phone conversation. The more we draw out the "u" in the word conveys to us how the other's week has been. Dude! means "Hi! I'm excited to tell you about something so shut up and listen." Duuuuude... means "My week has been absolute crud and I need to unload on you." DUUDE! means "I'm so angry so let me tell you so that you can be angry with me." Sorry, this is probably a lot more than you wanted to read. 😄 Thanks for bearing with me and I hope that you have a great weekend!

Thank you!
It is kind of a cultural word :) Thanks for trying.....
Thanks for the vote :)
You are right to somtimes just shake your head at a prompt. It's ok if one doesn't really speak to you. :) A funny movie we watched not long ago was an old one. Dude, Where's My Car?
Have a nice night!
