- 1. A word/feminine">feminine word/counterpart">counterpart to the masculine word dude. "Dude" may perhaps have its origins from the word "duds" (always plural) as in "clothes" or "dress" as one (1883) definition of "dude" means "a man extremely fastidious in dress and manner". Has been in use since, at least the late 1800s. Proof of this can be found in it's usage in Mark Twain's book "A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court" published in 1889 and also in an 1885 article in "Weekly New Mexican Review" where the words "dudes" and "dudesses" are used to describe actors in an operetta. > Young lady, you most certainly are a well-dressed [dudess].
