Jan 28 at 23:11 comment added majinnaibu In SoCal or California in general it's still just dude. It's almost the perfect gender neutral word. Girls call each other dude, guys call girls dude. Dictionaries like to drone on about it being male, but dudette never caught on and dude has been gender neutral for like 50-60 years.

Dec 5, 2011 at 2:24 comment added Mitch To clarify, the situation I'm asking about is as a 'call-word' (a vocative, a stand alone hey-you (what -is- the word for this)), not as a referential noun. The later is -very- gendered, it says exactly what sex a person is, and the feminine version is most likely 'lady'. E.g. 'Was it a dude or a lady who was caught shoplifting at Victoria's Secret?'
