I would call you Dude, out of respect for your wishes on how you like to be addressed. I might even slip in a Mr Dude on first acquaintance. :) But I wouldn't consider it license to call you Daddy O, buddy boy or some other random moniker that I think is cool.

I'd take "dude" over "homey" not even sur how to spell homey:D There was a movie (old one) with John Wayne where he was called "one fine "dude" so in that perspective, that's good company.

Phew, I thought I was going to have to change my user name to Deere Homey. :laughing: But that would be alright to.

I grew up using "Oh Man!" as an expression or exclamation. For example, "Oh Man! I hate it when that happens." Now, it would be, "Dude! I hate it when that happens." They use that expression even when talking to girls and girls use it too. I could replace almost every instance of "dude" with "man" or "oh man," and they would fit just fine. As with all things, this too shall pass. It'll probably end up being something more offensive in the next cycle of "homer-speak.";)

Edit: Oh BTW, when I want to get my grandson's attention, I just call him a ******; as in, "Quit acting like a ******!" It's amazing how that gets his attention far better than just saying "idiot" or "stupid."
I don't think ****** is very pc, I use tard. :)

Another word that I am weird about is "ya'll". If I am around southerners or other country folk, it doesn't bother me as it seems to just be part of the culture. (I grew up in the country but not that far out). If I hear some city "hoodlum" say it I feel like stabbing them in the eyeball.
