Mister magus, there is no strain on your credulity. I merely stated on September 3 that I did not know how the word "Dude" became an expression of surprise. It was not until September 5 that I looked at several language websites to see if I could find any information about the expression. I couldn't. I said "Dude" would probably be included on an updated list of common expressions. No credulity was strained.

I also wonder why the names of God and Jesus are often used as expressions of anger or frustration but the names of Allah and Buddha are not.

And why, when we taste good food, do we say "Mmm" and never "Eee" or "Rrr" or "Vvv"? And why, when we get hurt or injured, do we always exclaim  "Ouch" or "Ow" and not any other word or syllable?
