Well hi there..
I need ur help.
This word..dude..something like friend, comrade, cool cat..yeah??Am i right??
but in one my dictionary was this article..
dude n. "редиска", придурок, козел, лох, малой, калич, чувак, хрыч, лопух, бамбук, болван, чувырло, крест, бревно, муфлон, фуфло, чудо в перьях, баран, дурилка картонная, дубина, шизик, идиот, ненормальный, педик, чудак, дурак, кретин, "старый плавучий чемодан", тормоз, сынок, сыняра, франт, башмак, урод, шнурок, боец, отморозок, "зелень", салабон, сосунок, сопляк, салага, крейзи, желторотый и т.д. и т.п.: — Hey, dude! — Привет, чувырло! В 1973 году Дэвид Боуи спел песню "All The Young Dudes" — "Все молодые, по большому счету, придурки..." Именно тогда, в начале семидесятых, это словцо стало популярным среди английской молодежи. До этого оно было сугубо американским. Точнее, популярным в американских низах.
But i heard that americans say it..like hi dude, what's up dude..and something like this..Or maybe I saw not "right" films??In "Scrubs" JD used it.. Well then what do you use instead "dude"??
Well.. What is up next??Oh, this text..
Bob is a great guy. He never blows his slack. He hardly ever flies off the handle. Well, of course, he is actually getting on, too. But he always knows how to make up for the-lost time by taking it easy. He gets up early, works out, and turns in early. He knows how to get away with things. Bob's got it made. This is it for him. He is a cool cat.
I know how it can be translated. But I can't understand this -- blows his slack..i'm pissed of with this phrase..
explain me that, please..
and..One question elsee..for american and british people..Do you really speak like that..about Bob, for example??I thought, maybe it became outdated and it's dead duck to learn speak like this..
If yep, then I need ur help..I wanna leave Russia and live in London or NY, so you see I need a lot of practise..Maybe anyone wants to help me??ahah lol..Just if anyone feels like he/she/it can speak with me, for example, by icq or msn..I'll be very glad..happy..it's gonna be awesome..!!
And..if there are any mistakes..correct me..please..
