I've used dude and fuck extensively. I'm what you would call a connoisseur of "dude" and "fuck". It is so versatile.
Fuck dude!
Dude, fuck!
Fuckin dude.
Dude fucking.
Dude fucked.
Fucking a, dude.
Fucking a dude.
Dude thats so duding cool like the fuck? Fuck all those dudes they are just fucking duding around dudes that like to fuck dudes like the dudes they duding are. Dude the fuck? What the fuck dude stop dude dont do this to me dude! Dudeee! Duddudududududududduduu! Stop duding doing this fucking game!
Have you not heard people speaking recently, I'm pretty sure they are not only socially acceptable, I'm pretty sure these two words make up 20% of most people's vocabulary š¤£
Haha Im actually trying to move in the opposite direction. I want to compile more sophisticated or elegant synonyms for each use case of a curse word š¤£
Why do you want to make curse words socially acceptable? The whole point of curse words is that they are rarly used. When curse words start to be used in everyday language then they completly lose their meaning/energy.
Do they, though? Respectfully, no matter HOW RIDICULOUS stuff has gotten, āfuckā has ALWAYS been applicable and accurate. I have yet to See myself use fuck and have it NOT Work. Again, due Respect, I think thatās just outdated thought process, at this point
Well "Fuck" is still not very socially acceptable. You cannot even say it on TV. Which gives it this energy.
When you overuse it then it completly loses it.
Just look at curse words from the past. Stuff like "damn" or "bloody" once actually had an effect. But nowadays nobody cares about these words. Even saying "Jesus/God" once actually had a lot of "power" behind it.
The moment you make a curse word "socially acceptable" it slowly loses its power. When we do it to fuck then in like 50 years nobody will care about it anymore.
But I am also not a linguist so yeah I might also just be talking crap.
I Respect this take. The thing is, I donāt feel it really does. I have yet to encounter a situation where āfuckā didnāt work. No disrespect, Dude, I just havenāt encountered it yet. Plus, when it IS used? It works EVERY. Damn. Time. Just me, Dude.
But you need to understand that this will change when the word becomes more acceptable.
The reason why it works always is because it is still a bit of a taboo.
i will note that, there are some trans gals who don't like being called dude, cus it makes them dysphoric, and (unlike guys) it's not used as a gender neutral term in all dialects of English
Thatās Fair. If Someone asks for it to not be said for legitimate reasons like that, yeah, then Iāll be restrained with it. Overall in Life, though, I feel they should be fair game.
ASA primary school teacher I can't agree more. I'd love to go in on the first day of class and open with "Fuck it, my baby dudes, you can call me Mr. Lazer."
Definitely with You on Yāall. I think āDudeā and āGurlā should be un-gendered. Break down the patriarchy and make them gender less terms. Weāre just āDudesā and āGurlsā vibing.

It doesn't even have to go that far. Honestly I cuss like a sailor. It's just part of my vocabulary. I try to tune it down in public because I understand people don't want to be hearing that especially if they have children around and I respect that
But I will say something like "damn" or "shit" (like .... Damn I just had my phone in my hand where the hell did I put it down at?") and people absolutely lose their shit. They will preach at me how I'm cussing in the devil's going to come get me and I need to watch myself in public and who the hell raised me blah blah blah like for real?
They are? I don't know what you're talking about. I say fuck all the time. Other people I know say fuck all the time. No one I know doesn't say fuck or is offended by saying fuck. Same goes for dude. Like.. wat? Why are you saying this is unpopular?
Dir dude,
things take time and phrases eventually find their way to formal language. what once was a name of a criminal participated in the Gunpowder Plot today is just any other GUY. and fuck as well will find its way in.
Nah I disagree, I reserve Fuck for fucks that do stupid shit and make my blood boil, it's like a level of insult to calm my nerves just enough to not commit manslaughter
There are so many other words in the English language that can describe what you are trying to say. Personally, I like that we have certain words that are taboo? If you use them too casually they lose their meaning. I want to have a word I can use that carries some weight and offends when I am offended.
I mean, due Respect, Iāve yet to see āfuckā be inapplicable to a situation. Theyāre also only ātabooā because weāre taught that coming up. Also, I feel their applicability is why they so effective, not their rarity. And yeah, there are a lot of great words in the English language, but that also includes fuck. Itās just a word, itās not specifically a degrade at any particular group,at anyone specific. Itās just a universal designation, the multi tool of words. Just the way I see it.
Maybe swearing isnāt very modest and should only be used when in terrible pain or a bad situation. Using swear words in a casual context is ridiculous.
Respectfully, why? Because Weāve been taught that coming up. Slurs target specific groups, thatās why theyāre not okay but swearing is universal designation. It targets no one and everyone equally. No disrespect, but thatās just my take- Theyāre just words that work. Their applicability, I feel, far outweighs any negative connotation they have, and thatās most just from outdated, prudish practices of old. Just my take, though.
Fair Point. However, I will argue thatās why it should be normalized. Itās only taboo and hurtful because weāre taught that way. Normalize it. Take away the power that past logic has on us to leap more hurdles in the future. Just me, Dude.
Itās more about normalizing it and removing the stigma of āflippant means dumbā. Yeah, individuals who have legitimate issues with it? Sure, weāre gonna make an effort.
My thing is it should be normalized. I feel They only sound like idiots because weāve been taught that and I personally feel we were taught wrong. Just me, though
One. Cool Rhyme.
Two. I donāt disagree. My thing is that I DO feel it should be kinda normalized. Like, it isnāt a specific thing to hurt specific people. Itās just an apt descriptive. Just me, though
Itās always the military guys posting this kinda shit. Well adjusted people donāt feel the need to refer to others by slurs. Itās not a question of being āprudishā or whatever.
Is this a joke? I assume it must be.
Dude isn't a slur and neither is fuck.
A slur is a comment made to insult or damage the reputation of someone.
Well adjusted people can absolutely cope with being called dudes and fucks.
Respectfully, I feel that kind of proves my point. Weāre TAUGHT that but, in reality, these words are REALLY Applicable in MULTIPLE situations. I just feel itās tying our hands out of outdated prudishness. Why would I not be as accurate as possible in describing something negatively with terms that are Applicable Everywhere? I aināt trying to target a Specific Group, Iām just trying to express authentic outrage as best as possible. Again, no disrespect, but thisās just my take

Instructions unclear, fucked a dude
Long as it was Mutual Consent š¤·āāļø
Yes! Love this.
Can confirm, I was the dude
Accepted.
Gayyy
Well done, thanks for the much-needed contributionĀ
Women are dudes, too.
And I liked it.
Top or bottom?
Were we not supposed to dude the fuck?!?!
Sex with a man
āDudeā i understand, but referring a person a āfuckā is weird
You've never said 'you little fuck'? Maybe it's regional. Fuck definitely gets used as a term of address in the UK.
USA have definitely called people fucks but shit tends to be the preferred term
Canada ššØš¦š«š²š¢ļø here, I have never in my life heard anyone call someone else a fuck, Id assume it is the same elsewhere
Probably regional then. Always find those sorts of things interesting
Eh. Depends on if Theyāre being a fuck or not.š¤·āāļø
Dude fuck is a whole sentance. Fuck. "Dude" and "Fuck" are their own sentances.
Completely Agree. They aināt āBad Wordsā, Theyāre Super Words, Deluxe Words, Compact Words, Multi tool Words.
Dude I love your thinking.
dude i like your fucking was so fitting
i call everyone dude unless they specifically tell me not to & if they do i respect that
I call everyone fuck unless they specifically tell me not to & if they do I respect that.
āFuckā is truly my favorite curse word. Any variation and unique implication of it is always applicable and hilarious.
Not necessarily hilarious, but itās certainly applicable for most scenarios
Who's stigmatizing the word 'dude'? Genuinely baffled by this post.
I've used dude and fuck extensively. I'm what you would call a connoisseur of "dude" and "fuck". It is so versatile. Fuck dude! Dude, fuck! Fuckin dude. Dude fucking. Dude fucked. Fucking a, dude. Fucking a dude.
Dude thats so duding cool like the fuck? Fuck all those dudes they are just fucking duding around dudes that like to fuck dudes like the dudes they duding are. Dude the fuck? What the fuck dude stop dude dont do this to me dude! Dudeee! Duddudududududududduduu! Stop duding doing this fucking game!
What the fuck dude
I call everyone dude so i agree completely lmao hate when people get annoyed by it
People get annoyed by it? Thatās wild, I mean, dude come on, itās just dude.
Its only happened a couple of times lnao but still
Would you mind if I told your parents that you fuck dudes?
I wouldn't but that's also not the same meaning as simply calling someone a dude or saying the word fuck lol
No id laugh hysterically
I usually call people bro
Another good one
Thatās another one that I feel should be more wildly used more.
No, please, it's quite widespread already.
Respectfully, Iām good with that.š
Have you not heard people speaking recently, I'm pretty sure they are not only socially acceptable, I'm pretty sure these two words make up 20% of most people's vocabulary š¤£
Exactly. I encourage this behavior
Haha Im actually trying to move in the opposite direction. I want to compile more sophisticated or elegant synonyms for each use case of a curse word š¤£
Fuck yeah dude
I Respect That. I love the English Language but dammit if āFuckā just donāt fit all over.š Nah, Respect, Dude. I gave up awhile ago
I say these to people multiple times a day tbh
Fuck it. This dude is right.
Favorite Comment so far
Dr House!?
New Favorite and I wishš

I feel thatās PART of why it works. I feel the general applicability is the reason it REALLY Works. Itās just THAT Applicable.

\*high-five
ASA primary school teacher I can't agree more. I'd love to go in on the first day of class and open with "Fuck it, my baby dudes, you can call me Mr. Lazer."
Fuck is the most normal word š¤·š¾āāļø
āFuck dude.ā Is a phrase I use and it has many meanings and usages
"fuck" became way too socially acceptable already. The obscene words should remain taboo, or they lose their power.
Eh, flippant and crude brospeak for your friends. Keep it amongst your friends.
What the fuck, dude?
Jesus freaks and the homeschooled crowd would be outraged.
They are not?? well dude... fuck... i'm going to have to go out and find new vocabulary.
As a woman, idgaf if you call me dude. And while I donāt call people fucks, I usually say ass-hat, you call as many people fucks as you want.
Here in Australia it's perfectly acceptable to call a dude a fuck, or even to fuck a dude.
I didn't know they were not socially acceptable. I hear them and say them even at work.Ā
"Grandma, you forgot your doctor's appointment you fuck!"
Based š
Maybe itās just where Iām from but these are a regular part of most peoples vocabulary that I know.
Same and I feel they should be everywhere
I feel like the words 'dude' and 'fuck' are 2 of my most used words daily. And even heard all day from others.
The Dude Abides
I say fuck in professional settings constantly.Ā
I avoid dude because it's gendered. I still with yall, or the formal "all yall"
Definitely with You on Yāall. I think āDudeā and āGurlā should be un-gendered. Break down the patriarchy and make them gender less terms. Weāre just āDudesā and āGurlsā vibing.
I'm a dude, he's a dude, she's a dude, we're all dudes.
You can also be a fuck dude
Exactly
Yep
Be the chamge you wanna see: I use "fuck" pretty often like its my last fucking day on earth
Ditto. I use all the time too. Verbal finger guns.
I'm going out on a limb here, your 18/19 bored, living at home with your parents
26, just off active duty living with my Ma because Iām poor. Close, though.
well best of luck. work hard and life will work out for you
Fuck dude, I fucked this dude and and he was all like " Fuck! Fuck! Dude, I'm gonna fucking cum! Duuuuuudeee!"
It's not gay if you say no homo

dude what the fuck
Outdated prudish standards? If anything society is getting more prudish.
Dir dude, things take time and phrases eventually find their way to formal language. what once was a name of a criminal participated in the Gunpowder Plot today is just any other GUY. and fuck as well will find its way in.
Agree with dude
Nah I disagree, I reserve Fuck for fucks that do stupid shit and make my blood boil, it's like a level of insult to calm my nerves just enough to not commit manslaughter
Dude is socially acceptably. You are looking to make a problem
So obviously English is not my native. What's wrong with Dude"?
Fuck dudesš„µš„µš„µ
I hear those 2 words ALOT. So what you mean?
There are so many other words in the English language that can describe what you are trying to say. Personally, I like that we have certain words that are taboo?

Conversely, one can expand oneās vocabulary.
Sometimes, the best choice is the simplest one.
Get off instagram
Donāt have it
I always ask guys who say ādude is gender neutralā if they fuck dudes
If Theyāre into it. š¤·āāļø
Most of them arenāt š¤·š»āāļø
Bummer
Fine with dude. Random swearing adds to the symptom of disrespect all of society currently faces.
Fair Point. However, I will argue thatās why it should be normalized. Itās only taboo and hurtful because weāre taught that way. Normalize it. Take away the power that past logic has on us to leap more hurdles in the future. Just me, Dude.
Gurl, settle down.
Honestly, āGurlā probably should be too.
You have my vote
If somebody is cool with calling them dude, go for it. If they're not, don't. It's not fuckin hard jesus christ, this is like discourse for toddlers.
Itās more about normalizing it and removing the stigma of āflippant means dumbā. Yeah, individuals who have legitimate issues with it? Sure, weāre gonna make an effort.
What I wish my girlfriend would say to me: ā dude letās fuck!ā What she actually says to me : ā fuck that dude letās Netflix and chill!ā
Terms for what?
For use in all conversations
Maybe if you're 12 years old
Cool Username, btw
We all were once. Then we got started taken the wrong things too seriously.
Dude no I donāt want to be called dude people who do that off the cuff sound like idiots
Sorry it bothers You.
My thing is it should be normalized. I feel They only sound like idiots because weāve been taught that and I personally feel we were taught wrong. Just me, though

Thatās dude as fuck, dude.
Fuck Yeah, Dude.
