Don't call me Dude.... Robert


What is it with guys and girls calling each other dude? Is it because of the one syllable capacity of the "Duder's"? First, don't call me Dude if you are younger than me or I am your boss or teacher. Girls. Really? "Dude I started my period", "Dude I'm pregnant" It's just wrong and odd. Is this an affectionate term? Don't think so. Maybe I am just not So Cal enough.
My father couldn't be bothered to remember my friends names so he just called them all Robert. That was okay with me, at least it had a meaning. It meant these are my son's friends, fair enough. It was a little tough when he gave me phone messages though.
