Wow. That's dedication.

All right, you caught me: yes, I have had at least two glasses of sangria. And yes, it was at work. Yes, I am going to be staying put for a little while. Oh, okay, okay, yes, I also told this joke to 'most all my coworkers. I wasn't even drunk yet. THEY weren't even drunk yet. *sigh*

Depending on intonation, it can mean ANYthing. A whole conversation can consist of nothing but "Dude!" :-)

Someone-or-other has a comedy schtick about "the most intelligent thing ever said following the word "Duuuude". Our marketing guy brought that up and we riffed on it for a while.

Varla Jean Merman has a version of the "Interjection" song from schoolhouse rock, but all the interjections are replaced with f*ck, just with different inflections: So when you're happy: f*ck; or sad: f*ck; or excited: f*ck; or mad: f*ck; or frightened: f*ck; or glad: f*ck; an interjection starts the sentence right!

Oh, I so need to hear that! A song for me! :)
