I call people dude all the time. It's really that annoying?

And Hawaiians are awesome.

I find it annoying. I don't know about others, but I prefer to be called by a non-generic title.

But using someone's name in every sentence you address them in is repetitive, and we all know how horrible repetition is. =O

EDIT: Just for the record, I don't really care.

Come on dude, be a bro and lighten up!

I deplore when people use the word "man" when addressing other people. It's degrading. Use their real name, for crying out loud!

Thats the point.

I only use these when I don't feel like using some ones name

UNless that person calling you bro is:

a. A Rapper

b. Your sibling

c. Your oldest and best friend

I think it's a bit more fun to say "Hey! Heyheyhey! You! Yes, YOU! I KNOW YOU, SO COME HERE. " and then do a frantic dance to get their attention.

....not that I've ever done that or anything.

Yes. Those things are very annoying...very very annoying...

Dude, I call bros all the time- babe. Don't you know it ain't nuttin' but a regional slang thang?

I'd find it funny if you'd walk up to somebody and go "Pardon me, I have nothing to say!"

lol u mad bro?

|-|\/|

I ususally use dude in IMs whenever I'm excited about something, and IRL whenever I'm addressing one of my friends.

And then I usually use "bro" generally after "cool story".

I don't use "brah" very often because I don't think of it.

I usually use "baby" with my friends whenever I'm telling them to relax or chill.

I don't think I've ever used "man".

And "sweetheart" under sarcasm, regardless of gender.

But usually whenever I address someone, I choose much more aah flavorful terms. =P

Is it really annoying? o_O
