Cool solidarity is especially important to young men who are under

Could also be 'mate' or 'but' (shortened form of butty, used in the Valleys of South Wales when I was a kid).
Historically, dude originally meant "old rags" -- a "dudesman" was a scarecrow. In the late 1800s, a "dude" was akin to a "dandy," a meticulously dressed man, especially out West. It became "cool" in the 1930s and 1940s, according to Kiesling. Dude began its rise in the teenage lexicon with the 1981 movie "Fast Times at Ridgemont High."
