I use "dude" and "man" with total sincerity. I use "bro" too, but usually ironically or semi-ironically. But that word has started to earn legitimacy from me since I started watching Adventure Time.
I also like the full word "brother." My dad says it. It fits in my mouth well, I think. No one has told me it bothers them.
sure thing dude...or dudette, no worries ladies Im an equal opportunity duder. Though to be fair Im horrible with remembering names so I use dude as a way to hide the fact that you arent important enough to remember.
yeah man, i use stuff like that all the time dude. although it pretty much started to take the piss of the "Monners" (people who address each other as mon, normally farmer boys and chavs) in secondary school i've noticed recently that i actually have carried it on... mate.
I say "man" occasionally. Dude occasionally too but I can't probably count on one hand how many times I've said bro. Although I do call my brother bro.
