\u00e2\u20ac\u0153Seriously Dude? An APP about Dude? Cool.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d The iTunes store today began distributing Dude<\/a> and Dude Deluxe, the first Dude Apps<\/a> to be released for the iPhone and iPod Touch. The Dude Apps feature dozens of hilarious \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Dude\u00e2\u20ac\u009d recordings. Get ready to laugh along with our pop culture\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s greatest living word \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Dude\u00e2\u20ac\u009d and try to figure out what each \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Dude\u00e2\u20ac\u009d recording really means.<\/font><\/p>\n

\u00e2\u20ac\u0153Dude is one of the most entertaining and interesting words in any language, it means so many different things. In fact, it can mean everything. People can even converse saying nothing else but Dude,\u00e2\u20ac\u009d professes Jason Moskowitz, a partner at The APP Company, the developer of Dude. \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Dude is a way to say, \u00e2\u20ac\u02dcHey read my mind right now\u00e2\u20ac\u2122 and so it can mean anything.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/font><\/p>\n

<\/a>Dude is very famous as well, appearing in Bud Light commercials, headlining major motion pictures like \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Dude, Where\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s my car,\u00e2\u20ac\u009d helping launch the career of Keanu Reeves and that other guy in Bill & Ted\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s Excellent Adventure and appearing as the title character \u00e2\u20ac\u0153The Dude\u00e2\u20ac\u009d inThe Big Lebowski.<\/font><\/p>\n

\u00e2\u20ac\u0153Our goal with Dude and Dude Deluxe is to laugh out loud with one of our pop culture\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s greatest living words, Dude. We want to give it the special place it deserves, with its own iPhone App dedicated to nothing but the glory of Dude,\u00e2\u20ac\u009d says Scot Robinson, a partner at The APP Company and now a fan of Dude. \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Early on I thought it was a stupid idea, but when I started researching and listening to people, I was amazed at how common the word really is spoken.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/font><\/p>\n

The APP Company has created a website and employed researchers to create a repository for all things Dude. Moskowitz explains, \u00e2\u20ac\u0153It is set up like a super interactive and fun Wikipedia listing dedicated exclusively to the hilarious and interesting uses and meanings of the wordDude;\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/font><\/p>\n

The Dude Lexicon:<\/u><\/strong><\/font><\/p>\n

Dude is one of the most versatile words in any language. John Swansberg of Slate identifies \u00e2\u20ac\u0153at least six distinct usages of Dude:\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/font><\/p>\n

The admonitory Dude:<\/strong> the dude deployed when your buddy won’t stop humming “Umbrella” on a long car ride. As in, “Dude, enough.”<\/font><\/p>\n

The interrogative Dude:<\/strong> useful for ascertaining whether you’ve dropped a call. “Dude? Are you still there?”<\/font><\/p>\n

The deflated Dude:<\/strong> the dude of bad news. “Dude. Tom Brady’s wearing a boot.”<\/font><\/p>\n

The exclamatory Dude:<\/strong> the dude of good news. “Dude! Tom Brady is no longer wearing a boot!”<\/font><\/p>\n

The sotto voce (under one\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s breath) Dude:<\/strong> for classified briefings. “Dude: Here comes that tall drink of water from accounting.”<\/font><\/p>\n

The blissed-out Dude: <\/strong>more accurately rendered as duhuhude. The dude issued upon rediscovering a long-lost (Grateful) Dead tape.<\/font><\/p>\n

Dude and Dude Deluxe<\/u><\/strong><\/font><\/p>\n

Both Dude and Dude Deluxe have been launched simultaneously. Dude is a free App and contains most of the features of Dude Deluxe. For 99 cents, users of Dude Deluxe receive additional Dude recordings, have the ability to set any Dude recording as a ringtone, can send recordings via email as MP3 files, and can prank their friends with Dude Alarms and Dude Bombs.<\/font><\/p>\n
