Teacher: Now, understand the problem? Solve this instance: Question: Is the word "dude" becoming gender neutral? I don't think so, however, has modern usage changed? Are there some recent examples of "dude" being used to refer to a woman or group of women?
Answer: Personally I would feel quite creeped out if a male individual would address me with dude and I have not seen the word dude used as a gender neutral term. If a female individual would address me with dude I think she could get away with it, but it's not something I have actually seen. A (female) friend of mine does use the terms dudette dudette (plural dudettes) (slang, often humorous) Term of address for a woman. (slang, often humorous) A cool woman, especially a surfer or skater. [...] and dudess dudess (plural dudesses) A female dude, i.e. a cool female. Although as stated this usage is often a bit joking and humours rather than serious. For that matter, it can also be pointed out that dude is still only defined as a male term in the dictionary I checked.
