a "dude" is a term for a whale's penis.
im pretty sure that's "dork"...
dude,
despite my biased right-wing opinion, that quote made PERFECT sense to me. dudette=dudess...dudettes=dudesses.
c'mon mr. wanninger. it's all so clear!
no a dork is a human's
How did you like the movie?
Our Prez is so fly.
Well, I know the word "dudette" is in one of my TMNT comics from the early 90s, so at least we've updated the terminology somewhat. But I mean, it doesn't matter. We all know Normalcy isn't a word either. It happens. The real point here is that Shaun White has good taste in women. Go read the Winter Olympics SI articles for more.
Andrew, I never said the quotation did not make sense. I just thought it sounded hilariously pathetic coming from the president's mouth.
JV -- I liked Raging Bull, but not as much as I thought I would. DeNiro is great, as is Scorsese, but I have read many times that it was the "best film of the 80s," and I did not really feel that way.
And the various theories about the etymologies of "dude" and "dork" are all pretty much myths, though dork can mean "penis" -- but not a whale's.
And the "dude=hair" thing is all myth.
Just to clarify . . .
I can just SEE the incredibly smug, self-satisfied look that would be on his smarmy little face while saying that.
Meg, at first I thought you meant me.
