<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Figtree3, post: 583156, member: 33&quot;]This reminds me that in the U.S., the word &quot;dude&quot; used to always refer to a man. Now, younger women call each other &quot;dude&quot; all the time. It seems to be only done by people under age 30 or so, though.</p><p><br /></p><p>And I talk semi-regularly on the phone with a woman who lives in Australia who <b>occasionally</b> calls me &quot;mate&quot; over the phone -- I know that word is almost always used with men, though. Just wanted to point out that it could happen once in a while.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
