I tried to steal from the best parts of it and hoped that anyone piqued would follow the link. :) Although I'm not Scottish, I suspect that dud and dude carry the same pronunciation in that dialect, based on the phonology of other words with that sound. It's fun to say with a Scottish accent - doing so takes out a lot of the 'surfer bro' connotation of the word, to my ear. | |
