Dude(n.), "an individual, typically male, particularly somebody well dressed or who has never lived outside a big city. The word dude is an American English slang term generally used informally to address or refer to somebody and was once used primarily by adults but this has become a common slang term used in various age groups."
~Wikipedia
or...a new word introduced into our vernacular by kids at Westwood Elementary to enthusiastically acknowledge the other person in a conversation. "Dude, you gotta be kidding me?"
I'm sure this is just the first of many words or slang phrases we're going to have to find a way to tolerate.
