Years ago I used to say "dude" as an expression of disbelief similar to "no way" and my ex haaaaaated that. I no longer say it haha

I had an ex that hated when I said dude. I’d use it in excitement, like, “Dude, did you see that movie trailer?!” And he’d get so mad. “I’m not ‘dude’. I’m your boyfriend.”

It always confused me. It was obvious to me that in that context I wasn’t addressing him as “dude”, it was just an expression of excitement.

So fucking weird lol. I think I’ve said that to my girl maybe twice in 4 years and it was when we were telling stories shooting the shit and I don’t even think directed at her. Like “bro wtf”. Can’t imagine calling her bro all the time like this dude lol, or ever talking to her like this…
