"Gal" might be the best female-specific option, but I'm thinking we're just gonna have to stick with "dude" until a better female or gender-neutral term arises. You in? Seriously, every time someone says cool, I'm tempted to give them a blanket. PJ … By some magical intervention, 'cool' has replaced the good ol' 'okay'. I've heard it mostly between females but frequently enough to consider it current slang. If you've been hearing it for thirty years and it still hits your ear as exclusively male, maybe that will never change. Now, people use it when they're straightening their back or cracking their fingers.

A guy whom you've met just 5 mins ago coming up to you and calling you 'bro'.

Just like the words 'fuck', 'cool', 'dude' and 'bro', that are supposed to maybe spice up your speech a little.

'Having a dude puncher on our range kind of stirred up my emulosity.

Here in the south we also use girrrrrrrrrrrl with a drawl when you want to engage someone for further conversation as opposed to a casual greeting/acknowledgment.Dude, as a colloquial term of address, is gender-neutral.

Fine. To clarify, the situation I'm asking about is as a 'call-word' (a vocative, a stand alone hey-you (what -is- the word for this)), not as a referential noun. But the kids these days, they pretty much use it as gender-neutral.A female equivalent would have to be both familiar and common. Now, people use it when they're straightening their back or cracking their fingers.

Jon Stewart called the President "dude" during an interview on The first time I was addressed as dude, I was an adult, and this was about fifteen years ago. :D |There aren't really any female equivalents.

I don't think there is a word that perfectly fits that.Sometimes I say/hear "chick", but that's very familiar. PJ October 17, 2012 at 2:50 am Brosferatu.

I would never use "dude" (that's bros, dude) or "chica" (muy Spanish, dude). Also, how do 'hon' and 'sweetie' have associated male gaze (I find them to be used mostly by women anyway (men in the south?) Roll dog: A good friend, or best friend. "The problem's that most of the female alternatives given come off as either infantializing (girl, sis, babe, chick), belittling, or otherwise chock full of male gaze (hon, sweetie).Dudette doesn't have these problems, but is clunky and feels like a PC afterthought of "dude".

There was a time when the term 'fuck' was used to signify deep rooted anguish and anger. What glory does an extensive usage of 'dude' bring them? I'm a girl and i would say to my other female friends "dude I found a gnarly trail yesterday, we should for sure scope it out yeah?" "Babe" is extremely familiar. Dude definitely is, man kinda' is (I might say "aww, c'mon man" to a woman, but not in many other contexts), and bro definitely is not, but I don't use it at all except to refer to my actual brothers. "Again as in the other "guys" case, it might be culturally acceptable to say "dude" to a female, but I'm not sure, and it feels a little wrong (and has for 30 years).So what are some suggestions for acceptable female-gendered alternatives?Australians have "bruce" and "sheila" (I hear from the movies) but that just doesn't fly in AmE (and maybe that's already out of fashion).What do Californians say (as "dude" in my description seems to come from there)? "By the time the conversation ended, the amount of 'fucks', 'cool' and 'dude' used was more than the GDP of a small country.When you make chicken, you put masala in it, right?The masala, in optimum quantity, is what makes the dish palatable, right?The masala in itself serves no purpose. At least in places I've lived -- mostly in New York, Ohio, and Michigan -- it is not a word in anything remotely resembling common use.I saw that...I haven't yet seen a good semantic transition etymology of the word that goes from 'city clicker' to 'general vocative for surfers'.+1.
