Man: I think it's time, dude... Man: For what, dude? Man: For us to start calling each other by our real names instead of "dude". Man: Yeah, you're right. Man: Got anything yet? Man: I think one of us is named Ted... Gen X in the golden years...

I spend a lot of time in nursing homes - LOTS of people there speak like that, and they’re from “The Greatest Generation.” Well, at least the not remembering their names part.

The evolution of the use of “dude” from a “duded-up young fashionable man around town” to a city-slicker out of place out west (think Teddy R when he first got out west) to the surfer culture and it’s descendants shows the active evolution of our English slang and language. It be wonderful!

Naaaah. By then, they’ll have a special app using voice-recognition software that will translate speech into txt and txt into speech…
Or they could just call each other and talk…

I agree with ses1066 English is a marvelously versatile, flexible, adaptive language that is always evolving.

english; the most versatile,adaptable, subtle, nuanced, descriptive, confusing,language on earth. when you can say something like “us two are going to the store, do you want to come too?”

Mr. ‘formal English’ NightGaunt dude; I believe you mean “it’s most educational”. High falutin literary snob.
It was a very thought provoking satire, though.

This (especially comments) is very depressing. I’m 73 and finally started reading the “Riverside Chaucer” this week. I eat well, work out and generally take good care of myself, but may do something drastic before allowing a “retirement home” for myself. Quality of life is what matters to me - not making it to some artificial milestone (100 years or whatever). As long as I can live my life as I like, I’m fine. After that- Foggedaboutit!
