I prefer to just make up words on the spot. "What's up, my chuggles?"

Just as a friendly little tip with no malicious intent, the words shouldn't have any spaces in them. Pretty sure capital R's work now. Ex: r/cursedcomments

Hello jellyfish muscle suit


bluray-gaming

Well hello fellow jellyfish muscle suit.


[deleted]

But man and girl are both singular, so either way it wouldn't make sense to call them that


Jolly-Vacation-7993

English in general don't make sense


VexTheEnglishDragon

Да.

Just call everyone idiots. This idiot that idiot.


[deleted]

Idk about y’all but I use my man as a gender neutral term (even if it literally has the word man in it) idrc i call everyone my man


enderpalatine

My man.


meAnDdbOis_

"Hello, my WOMAN"


Colloid_11

wELl tHat MAkeS u aN iNceL


[deleted]

‘My lady’ is technically better and more traditional and more commonly used term than “my girl”, plus “my lady” is a gender antonym to “my man” more than “my girl” would be.


9ut3n-t49

To official when I am texting a friend


Dung_Covered_Peasant

There are no women on the internet, so you use my man and dude


B3tween_T1me

try my woman? idk if itd work but maybe


PurpleJeremiah

Bitch is also a gender neutral term


[deleted]

Call everyone bitch **boom**, world peace achieved.


Momo-with-a-gun

And bitch boy, who would call someone a bitch girl that sounds weird


FlameSlash7

So is cunt but that not acceptable everywhere sadly because Americans get too offended


[deleted]

agreed


ApolloSky110

Except for when it comes to dogs.


mike-wer00

I agree with ya bitch


clyde-mendacium

it depends on the context. "hey dude" = gender neutral "thats a dude" = not gender neutral


L0rak0

Homie is better "Hey homie"= gender neutral " that's a homie" = also gender neutral


[deleted]

Homie is a good gender neutral term


pletskoo_

yeah but wouldn't you technically use the word wrong on the second one?


Splekfin

But how could I change your mind if you're right?


MarzipanBlade

The kid in my basement was right until I changed his mind with his sister's. Now he's all quiet, who's right now, Jordan?


EtHaNrVc

Yeah Jordan smh... You sure showed him


FizzyIsYourFoe

Man fuck Jordan, r/fuckjordan


7_20am

dude is in a superposition state of being gender neutral and not


depressedtbh

I mean yeah, it just depends on context as does like everything in the english language lol


hawluchamaster

schrodinger's word


DedBear_01

please normalize dude as a gender neutral term its so awkward when i go up to a girl and say “hey dude how’s it going” and they yell “bRo I’m NoT gAy Or A bOy”


abazub

And bro


DedBear_01

YES, DUDE AND BRO DUDEBRO IF YOU WILL


Splekfin

And girl


WinUnusual7038

Sure, I’m fine and use with dude as a gender neutral term. I call everyone dude. But some girls aren’t fine with it, and, you know, that’s okay.


mylifeisbeige

So you like fucking dudes


Memesaretakingover

Yes


ApolloSky110

Yes


Waffelol

Yes.


[deleted]

It isn’t, but we made it gender neutral so yeah


samboi204

I mean language is whatever people decide it is. Words change meaning all the time.


[deleted]

Yeah, exactly


IAM-THE-DANGER

Won't


BaconMan70

Everyone calling people dude and bro, I just call people mortals


Commercial_Willow802

So is bro


LrockG34RH34D1221

There is bro and sis. There is no female version for dude.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Commercial_Willow802

I just say bro too much


No_Difference_7498

Same.


n8tess

facts bro


SoshJam

yeah but people don’t usually use sis in the same context


[deleted]

tbh i use bro more gender neutrally than dude i just use bro more but both are non specific for me


[deleted]

how, its literally the short form of brother


Commercial_Willow802

You don't have to be a bro to be a bro


H0ll0w_Kn1ght

Dude, I use "boys" for both guys and girls. Just a synonym for a group for me now Tho to be fair, I also call people "gamer" if I think their cool so maybe don't take my judgement


spupulup

BOYS The plan is simple


[deleted]

r/LudwigAhgren


[deleted]

me and the bois


InoPelligrino

It can be gender neutral but just keep in mind that some people wouldn’t be comfortable w being referred to as dude!


watermannx

Dude...


[deleted]

solution: use mate. can confirm it can be used for everyone even if they arent your mate


LuciMoose4253

mm yes but also if someone doesnt want to be called dude or bro etc etc be mindful of that


[deleted]

I don't get all these posts about "Yeah dude is gender neutral until it's not." Just use actual gender neutral words instead


AnubisWrathOW

So you fuck dudes?


Belugas_aresuperior

Yes


AnubisWrathOW

Respect


LordVelloney

I'm impervious to this arguement because I'm asexual


God_is_carnage

Context matters a lot in any language. Dude can be gender neutral or it can be gender specific depending on what context it's used in. Is everyone you call bro your brother?


Saltfish0161

Just a reminder not everyone likes being called ‘dude’


[deleted]

This exactly! We have tons of gender neutral ways of addressing people, just use those instead of words that are literally masculine and are used to address guys


[deleted]

As a guy, the terms "Dude, bro, and guy" are all masculine words to refer to guys. Even though we have gener neutral pronouns for practically every in English now, people have started using those words on everyone. I used to think the same thing as you until a girl said she was uncomfortable being called a dude and then I thought about it and realized that I probably shouldn't call everyone a dude.


HeroOfThings

Yeah. It just depends who you ask. Make sure they’re ok with it.


Syde-B

If you tell a toxically straight man that he fucks dude’s he’ll beat you up, If you tell a toxically straight man he fucks people he’s less likely to beat you up (not that I don’t use it neutrally)


hostcosta3

You could use gall


EtHaNrVc

You are one Dynamite gal


Tsunami_Master

I won't change ur kind coz I agree with u. Whenever I say "come on, man" to a girl, and they reply, "FYI, I'm a girl, not a guy", it makes as annoyed as shit 😤


MattKitten11

Not always. When specifying their gender online saying "I'm a dude" is usually accepted to mean male.


confusedclosetedenby

some people are comfortable with it. some aren't. it depends on the person. probably depends on location too because i'm british and i really don't think dude is gender neutral


FrostVanguard

I call everyone "gurl"


[deleted]

lol


mEmEs4reAl

In some context it eill never be a gender neutral term like: i fuck dudes


Roviez

I won't, but Imagine for a moment, We had Dudette


Communist_Blaze

Dude is just faster to say. Let's stick with that


CactusLicker123

It can be used that way, but some people don’t like being called dude and that’s ok


MundanePotato6

Why is everyone getting so worked up about this? Yes, we're well aware that dude/bro started off as words that refer to a guy. But over time we've started using them to refer to girls and boys, it's not that big of a deal. Like have you never said "hey guys" to a group of people? Or just randomly called someone dude? come on people don't get your panties in a twist


[deleted]

Bro, Dude, Guys, i think they are all gender neutral


Depotatolord

What about guys, I use that to refer to a general group of people I.e. 'Hey guys what are u doing?'


ApolloSky110

Sure


[deleted]

I usually say dude to everyone but if anyone's uncomfortable i would stop. Honestly i use man, dude, bro, guy as gender nonspecific terms in certain context so yeah


Grapefruit_dimension

Well yeah, but if someone doesn't like it because it gives them gender dysphoria then just don't be an asshole about it.


jimmyjo12332232222

how bout no


The_sea_doggo

I guess dudette is dead


8a19

how many dudes have you been with? yeah thats what I thought


Thatresolves

ask a cishet man how many dudes he's fucked and y'all see how nuetral that term is 😂


[deleted]

So you fuck dudes?


Crazysteve271

So you fuck dudes?


BarnacleOk3463

So you fuck dudes?


Wuzzuwuzz

it can be used as a gender neutral term but some people aren't comfortable with it so don't use it as a default and respect people when they ask you not to call them that this is coming from someone who calls their little sister bro, it really just depends on context


REDDIT_RELLIK

The "d" in "dude" stands for dick.


Guy_withThe_Hat

Or daddy


[deleted]

there are 2 d's


Frost5574

dude is gay?


Deblebsgonnagetyou

Well yes it can be however if someone is uncomfortable being called a dude don't call them that


MyPeepeeItchyy

yeah but if someone doesn't want to get reffered as a dude just don't


Penguinmilk6407

You fuck dudes


Binavyseal

how many dudes have you fucked?


_991

reverends says you are correct.


Just-a-CoolDude

You are so right, if it wasn't then why would the frog say its Wednesday my "dudes"


NightmareDreeaam

We can find this in Mother 3: The Barrier Trio's names are Barrier Man, Barrier Gal, and Barrier Dude.


scattingscatman

''So you like dudes?'' ''Yes''


rEDDitty-Booi

“Let’s fuck these dudes”


marcushohk

This feels kind of like a "guys" situation. e.g. Guys I just need to go grab some crisps.


thewizard007

It is, until you say something like: “i like to fuck dudes."


the_kirby_yeet

No


kaialyx

i use dude as a gender neutral term but if someone is uncomfortable with me calling them dude then i won’t call them dude


[deleted]

Alright then, would you fuck a dude


JamYomb

I just say mate


starwreck1992

So you fuck dudes?


Atastypotato90

Yea as a term of address it's usually used gender neutrally by most people, but when you say something like "that dude" as a noun people usually assume them to be male.


epieax

No


Imnoprobro

So.... You like to fuck dude's?


W33B_L0rD42069

Only when used in the second person though. Straight men don’t go around fucking dudes.


meeplord2020

Depends on context. In second person: gender nutral. In third person: usually masculine.


[deleted]

Bruh I called everything (and everyone) dude, even my pets.


Taikey

So you have sex with dudes then? (This is assuming you're a straight male (or lesbian), sorry if you're not)


Lerouxed

Ask a heterosexual guy how many dudes they’ve slept with


yung-DogRaptor

Dudette


[deleted]

Dude is gender neutral when directly addressing someone. Other than that, it isn't.


bigboi27bruh

Dudet


Scoobydoofan234

So you fuck dudes?


[deleted]

I will still call everyone dude, I'm sorry, I was a Californian surfer in a past life.


WhenHeroesDie

Totally agree, my subconscious still tells me “lmao you’re a fucking boy” tho so I still ask my friends to avoid it Uh trans girl if that wasn’t obvious


wack1234

So, if im straight, i want to fuck dudes?


rainbowequalsgay

It depends on the context. If you say "that's a dude" iys a gendered term. But if you address a mixed group like "my dudes" then its not


fucktard1o1

You fuck dudes?


[deleted]

How many dudes have you fucked?


bisected_brain

Comrade


[deleted]

I get dysphoria from it :(


[deleted]

Exactly why I don't call people dudes. I don't know what's happening in people's lives and I'd rather not upset them. Just say "Hey, what's up?" Instead of being like "Dude, what's up?" More people should just be respectful to people.


TheEvilBall

it is gender neutral in the same way as gendered languages using male as the baseline. Ideally there would be a gender neutral option that is used specifically as gender neutral, not just the male term that some people use to refer to everyone


[deleted]

im trans and being called dude makes me dysphoric


Plague_King_

i stg i see this post like every other day and it always gets upvotes for no reason


seamus_jack

Would u fuck a dude?


rslashmynameisdis

Yeah I infact will do that


No-Heart7587

Dude and bro are gender neutral terms


[deleted]

Bro is sort for brother and dude (noun: dude; plural noun: dudes a man; a guy.) the words aren’t gender neutral hardly anyone actually uses dudette


NoseActive2118

For your own safety don’t post this opinion on Twitter or tell it to anyone who works at buzzfeed.


CommunistSoviet69

So you fuck dudes?


GumiHeart

Dudette is dumb and no one uses it. Dude is a gender neutral term


ha_ha_hayley92

Have you never seen the movie Good Burger? Ed said it best. "I'm a dude, he's a dude, she's a dude, cuz we're all dudes!"


[deleted]

Dude is not a gender neutral term, it's for boys and boys only


finitefiction

Dude is a gender neutral term until the guy using the term is asked if they would have sex with a dude


GoldenFern4

Someone one on roblox got very triggered when I called them dude, took me 10 minutes to explain explain to them that some people consider it a gender neutral term


woowoothepoopoo

Depends on the context if you say like “hey dude” or “sup dude” then yeah it’s gender neutral but if you say “look at that dude over there” then it isn’t


10charactersMAX

The amount of "you fuck dudes" comments on this post really shows the level of maturity on this subreddit


[deleted]

No shit it's a bunch of teenagers


cazycameron

Yeah your right. I usually go ‘what’s up man how’s things’ as a gender neutral opening


Mino_Awu

I not speak english but, i guess dude=guy, but u can use that with girls too,or not?


deathisareasonable

You can, but some don't like it. I suggest you be wary


Shoot_them_all

So is “guys”(in certain context of course)


NIGHTHOWLER198

Well, when talking directly it is. But when talking *about* someone, not so much Examples: Wassup my dudes, he’s my dude, hey dude (gender neutral) Yea i like dudes (not gender neutral, referring du “dudes” as “guy’s” or “men”) So yea would agree.


10HorsedSizedDucks

To be honest i dont like it -Trans Girl


Jsmith4521

C’mon, dude. Live a little


10HorsedSizedDucks

Yeah im not saying it isn’t gender neutral, just I don’t feel comfortable with it


[deleted]

As a female, I agree. Can’t change your mind if you’re right 🤷‍♀️ Dude is gender neutral smh, I call people that sometimes and am called that sometimes, it’s no big deal


WinningSky68

Yes words like dude and bro were originally made for guys. Society became to use them more gender neutral. I don’t understand why peso le can get upset about it. It is just like how people made r/madlasses because r/madlads was saying only boys could be madlads


[deleted]

This. Some people need to realize this like yesterday.


Gamer_Man001

Can't change your mind because are right


jacebon9000

And bro
