Dude, chill out. It's just a friendly greeting. No one is trying to dominate you by calling you dude.


I'm all chilled (-; Would just like to hear how you felt about it...

It all depends on how it is said, too. As with everything. Most often people just use it as a friendly greeting, for sure!

Calling someone "darling" can be really derogative depending on context. Implying that you are a kid that needs help.

How would you like being asked the question,

"'Sup Dude?"

at some social gathering?


Like about a year and a half ago, I got to meet Olympic gold-medalist Ashton Eaton at a meet-n-greet autograph signing where I live. When he first saw me he said "sup dude!" even though he didn't say that to any of the other young guys ahead of me from what I saw, and I'm pretty sure he meant it as a slight compliment too. :)

Sounds like some cool person trying to tell you that dinner is ready.
