What's up with calling women dude and bro?

[sage2021]

I hear this a lot on YouTube short clips when a couple is arguing and her husband calls her bro or dude.🤷🏼‍♀️

It’s just a continuation of the regression from courtesy to casual use of language.
Every generation socially accepts a different lingo.


It’s not an insult, because it’s not meant to be one.
But I admit it’s a little little weird in many cases


I only use it as a joke with someone I’m not intimate with

[Shiprex]

It's a term of endearment that isn't direct. It's trying to prevent a tone that could be taken personally and be thought of as hurtful

[rgb008]

its very casual and, to me, comes off as a just friends way to talk to someone. I wouldn't appreciate it from my spouse.

I asked the exact same thing last week!! Other women do it, too! They SHOULD say, "Sis" or, "Dudette".

Probably some new kind of popular phrase... I never use it.

Crazy words from this current rotting generation 😏

[NathanDavis]

it's the same as a bunch of girls, all women... and then one of them addresses all other as "you guys..."

instead of "you girls"

[RecipeforLogic]

I can’t really say, but I’ve even heard girls call each other “dude” in a teasing way

[Anonymous]

I can't stand either one of those words, and calling a female one of them is even worse

[Veronika_p]

😂😂😂 ask the boys

[MrChinaski]

I've heard women called much worse

[exitseven]

[ChicoFromThe305]
