Dude.

"In this article I outline the patterns of use for dude, and its functions and meanings in interaction. I provide some explanations for its rise in use, particularly among young men, in the early 1980s, and for its continued popularity since then."

Scott F. Kiesling's paper, published American Speech, Vol. 79, No. 3, Fall 2004, pp. 281-305, is here. The Dude Corpus, with assignment instructions, coding sheet, survey, survey instrument, and links, is here.
