"Dude" ? See what it means.

dude /dud, djud/ n. & v. slang (orig. US). L19. [Prob. f. G dial. =
fool(cf. LG dudenkop 'stupid head').]

Do you really think this is a suitable word for addressing people ?

Strange....

You sad, sad man.

Or someone who is not a native speaker of English or is from a locality
in which "dude" is not part of the vernacular, in which case he was no
doubt puzzled by it and looked it up and found that it, according to the
dictionary definition, was inappropriate for the use in question.
