Dude for close boy friends?
I've seen a lot of guys use the word 'dude' with their close boy friends and that makes me wonder whether girls usually use the word with their girl friends too. If not, which word is the same as 'dude' when it comes to girls?
Thank you
Thank you

Note that the word "dude" can only be used between boys or young men who are close friends. It is offensive when used by a male to address another male who is a stranger.
Girls and young women do not use "dude" to address another female.

AnonymousGirls and young women do not use "dude" to address another female.But, oddly enough, you will hear "What do you guys want to do now?" where a young woman is addressing several other young women.
