where does the term deo dude come from
1) Originally, âdudeâ meant a stuck up person who dressed overly well. It first emerged in the year 1883 in England. 2) Later it was used in the old west to mean a city person who moved to the west without actually know what he was doing. Synonymous with âcity-slickerâ. 3) Later, in California, the term changed from these insults to a term meaning any male, human or otherwise.
