There was a lot of us who didn&#x27;t use slang.  So much of it was on t.v. though, you&#x27;d  come away thinking it everyone was using Surfer slang.<p>There was one word that drove me nuts though, and so many of us were guilty of using it.  It was dude.  My best friend at the time decide to call he dude.  I said please don&#x27;t &quot;dude me&quot;.  When I referred to him as dude in every sentance over a few pints it magically stopped the next day at work.
