This word is quite obviously a mixture of the words dude and man. It takes the "coolness" and the "
casualness" and the "chillness" from dude, and it combines it with the "seriousness" and all the other stuff that makes "man" different from dude, all into one word. It is all encompassing, having more "emotional depth" than just "dude" and "man" alone.
Etymology: This word was invented by Drew Nutter, originally used whilst (not while, whilst sounds cooler) talking to his dad, he would call him "
dadman man
dudeman" (cuz his name is coleman so its like a mix of 'dad' and 'coleman', cuz like theres a 'man' in 'coleman')(actually it wasnt used whilst talking to his dad, its more like thats what i call him when i talk to myself lol)
