I didn’t name mine, but gave him/her a title …
As a Gen-Xer, I decided to call him by the generic “name of honor” of our generation, and that name is DUDE.
Gen-Xers call each other “Dude.” The name can be used with either man or woman,** and it signifies a deep and unspoken camaraderie. You can even use the name with strangers. It is a compliment of the highest caliper!
The word DUDE has about 50 different meanings, depending on tone-of-voice and inflection. It can be a salutation, like “Hey Dude!” or a question, “Dude?” or it be an adjective meaning cool, “Doooooood!” or it can mean a phrase if combined with an exaggerated facial expression. Example: the word, “Dude?!?!” combined with a bewildered facial expression means, “Hey, what did you do that for?”
A DUDE can also be a noun, a title given to someone who is easy to be around. A DUDE is trustworthy, fun, and friendly. A DUDE is fair. A DUDE doesn’t lie to you or cheat you. A DUDE is like unto a man on a white horse, chivarous and honorable. A DUDE a TITLE that is given to someone worthy of being called a DUDE! (You gotta be worthy though. The opposite of a DUDE is a J*RK or an A-Hole).
My Angel is worthy of the title, “Dude,” until such time that his/her (angels are asexual) real name is revealed to me by God.
**Some women prefer to be referred to as Dudettes, but the title of “Dude” can refer to either.
PRAY FOR ME, DUDE!!!
