Random Observation About Myself

[mllelaurel]

I say 'dude' a lot. A whole lot. The etymological roots behind this remain a mystery, as I was neither raised in California (don't even know enough about California to say with absolute certainty that that's where the word stereotypically hails from), nor exposed to "Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure" at a particularly impressionable age.

Huh.

Now, wasn't this insightful? Don't you feel enriched for having read it?

Dude, I'm from California and I was exposed to Bill and Ted at a VERY impressionable age... Also TMNT 4 life.

I still say dude a lot, but new words have popped in too... It's weird the way that works. One of my new favorite words is kigass. I probably sound retarded saying it, but if you pair that word with dude, it is more accepted. Like "Dude, that's kigass!"

Hey, 'kigass' sounds no weirder than some of the stuff New Englanders apparently say. Mind, I've never even heard some of those words, let alone use them. I faaaail at NE slang, I do.

Also, is 'kigass' a slurring of 'kick ass'? If so, it makes perfect sense to me.
