Evert time the word 'dude' is used in a post concerning SC forum softwear automatically deducts 10 from your post count

Oh man... You used the d word. That means you need 2500 posts and 3 years.
That's dudes,
Dudes really helpful.
Best dudes there are.
Big up bros!
Merci.
I was trying to explain to some Scandinavian bikers on a forum the difference between dudes and duds.
They kept saying they where biking duds.
d00000d, w0rd up. I hope you cleared that up for them, man! They shouldn't be calling themselves duds. That is embarrassing.
Not really embarrassing just amusing,it's a laid back forum with people from Norway to Japan.
things often get lost in translation.
Like in that movie 'Lost in Translation'. Good movie.
I dont mind dude too much but it is a bit Bill and Ted
its "my bad" I cant stand especially middle aged white folk, working in a office saying it.

Excellent thread..

my bad complaining about people saying my bad it appears Shakespeare used the term
My bad
more like this...
...other phrases about: •Conflict and crime
Meaning
My mistake - I'm to blame.
Origin
This slang term originated in about 1970. At that time, that is, pre the widespread use of the Internet, slang terms often circulated at street level for many years before being adopted by anyone who felt inclined to write them down. That's clearly not the case any longer of course and any word or phrase that is widely known is dateable quite precisely via website logs.
The first citation in print is C. Wielgus and A. Wolff's, 'Back-in-your-face Guide to Pick-up Basketball', 1986:
"My bad, an expression of contrition uttered after making a bad pass or missing an opponent."
Shakespeare used the term with something like the current meaning, in his Sonnet 112:
Your love and pity doth the impression fill
Which vulgar scandal stamp'd upon my brow;
For what care I who calls me well or ill,
So you o'er-green my bad, my good allow?
That's clearly just coincidence, and it's hardly surprising that such a fragmentary phrase would appear in a large body of work like Shakespeare's. It's also a world away from pick-up basketball, which is an informal street sport where players frequently call out to each other (trash talking), and is a well-known source of street slang
'My bad' came into widespread popular use in the mid to late-1990s in the USA via the 1995 movie “Clueless”. This starred Alicia Silverstone and contains what seems to have been the first use of the phrase in the mainstream media. The 1994 'Green revision pages' for the movie script has a scene with Alicia Silverstone's character learning to drive:
"Cher swerves - to avoid killing a person on a bicycle. Cher: Whoops, my bad."
Although a street term, it is virtually synonymous with the earlier Latin phrase, 'mea culpa'. It doubtless has as little of a direct descent from this as it does from Shakespeare's Sonnet 112.
'My bad' has gained that unequivocal accolade - imitation. In REM's 2004 song 'Leaving New York' there is this verse, which as you see includes 'my proud':
You might have laughed if I told you
You might have hidden a frown
You might have succeeded in changing me
I might have been turned around
It's easier to leave than to be left behind
Leaving was never my proud
Leaving New York, never easy
I saw the light fading out
Interesting, but its not going to drop into my vocabulary any time soon
Better watch out homedawg! Your IQ points are soon the follow the spiral into oblivion.Interesting, but its not going to drop into my vocabulary any time soon
Just a quick warning (you can do a search if you do not believe me): what you are doing posting vacuous content to rack up your post counter is known as speed posting. The software is known to have a glitch whereas the post count suddenly drops back to 0 as you hit the 'magic 250' for speed posters.
You have been told, act as you see fit. Dude.
Thank you for your advice and concern; I assure you though that I do not post vacuous content.
I can't bear that nonsense my bad either and add to that
"at the end of the day"
"Basically"
"To be honest with you"
"Step up to the plate"
I could go on! (That isn't one though) ☺
It is all a matter of opinion. Experience shows that in this case it is not your opinion that counts - nor mine, I hasten to add, although I can say that my opinion is based on seeing quite a few glitches in the past. It will be my last word to you on the matter.
I appreciate it. Also appreciate your effort. I'm pretty sure I was having a pseudo-conversation with somebody. At worst it was superfluous, but definitely directly related!
It's failure to use apostrophes I can't stand.
'its just bad english isnt it' is just bad English isn't it?
FTFY
Am I wrong in thinking that 'my mistake' is more acceptable, as mistake is a noun whereas bad is an adjective?
you speak English better than me [not that hard to be honest].
...you could always ask king dude Flatz if there is any short cut concession to SC he could make for a new bro
Looks like the OP has had his pesudo-sales Prometheus post pulled. Bad forum etiquette and a ham-fisted effort, I have to say.
OP - I dislike the self-appointed forum police as much as anyone but that's just not the done thing around these parts. I'd also suggest that you'll have us all throwing our shoes at you for using words like 'dude' and 'dope' unless you are 14 and from Southern California, in which case it's just about borderline acceptable!
SGR
....as SC will reveal, these are usually size 8
I love a good old sales corner thread
I'm not from Southern California (unfortunately). Well, to be honest. I WAS going to POST it in the SALES CORNER once I HAD REACHED the 250 mark. But then this dude told me that I can't spam the forums, basically. I cleared up the matter, because I said it was relevant material. We agreed to disagree –*I think so, at least. I am not 14 (yet).
SGR
Tell us more about this dude.
Which dude would you be referring to?
The one who felt you might be getting a trifle spamular
If this is spamulative, then any phone worth a DOLLAR (ahem) is filled with spam. By your standard, any two-way conversation should be considered spam!
And to Der Amf and Papa Motel, the dude I was referring to was 'Saint-Just'.

It very much depends on the quality of the content in a conversation to whether it is spam or not

David Bowie knew a woman who punched him like a dude
Steve Tyler knew a dude who looks like a lady, do you think it is the same person?
If Mr Bowie was punched by a tranny while dancing the blues in red shoes while he was going down in an elevator, then yes it's quite possible it was the same dude
Looks like you are narrowing this down by a process of elimination
One further question - does this person know where their car is?
And does he abide?
(Moral of the story: we should all abide by the rules.)
its only cool when Jack says it
dude, dude ranch?

Mmmm....spamular trifle. With a side order of codswallop.
Honestly, OP - you could have just lurked for a couple of months and worked this all out by yourself.
SGR
Sweet, dude, sweet, dude
Always preferred the response.
