You know how popular it has become in the States to use the word "dude" in regular conversation to provide a more relaxed approach to whatever you are verbally trying to convey to your friends - i.e. "What's in it for me, dude?", "Dude, that's so lame." or just plain "DUDE!". Certainly since the early 90s this habit has increased considerably - I've noticed this not only by watching shitloads of cable TV, but also by befriending many American people at work and during my trips around the world. So what I am asking my fellow .orgers is that do you reckon Prince is enough cool to use this very popular expression or is he just way too old, or Canadian for that matter, to use it.

So what do you think?

I think he says "cat" when referring to people, and when he speaks to people "man" or nothing at all.

He changes it from time to time.

Back when he was going "Street" he probably said "Muthafucka" or "bitchass billyjackbith moffigiti"

Everlasting Now "I knew this dude..."

..and in the start of the song "Now" - "One, Two. One Two. Light up another one DUDE"

I don't think he ever says "dude", but being an honourary Canadian has nothing to do with it....


"Dude" is one of my most over-used phrases. That and "lame".

Let's make this thread never die.
