JA2340 16 Posted November 27, 2008 Share Posted November 27, 2008 Why? Ali has dementia and numerous other neurological problems caused by being beaten about the head. How's he "liven things up"? Link to post Share on other sites
thursday 1 Posted November 27, 2008 Share Posted November 27, 2008 you're talking about Cassius Clay, this dude is Nohamhead Ali. Link to post Share on other sites
JA2340 16 Posted November 28, 2008 Share Posted November 28, 2008 No, I'm talking about Mohamed Ali - OK, USED to be Cassius Clay but legally and professionally changed his name. At least I've heard of both his names, who/what is this other "dude" (I guess that means person? why not use the perfectly good word we already have instead of inventing another one?)

kokodoko 67 Posted November 28, 2008 Share Posted November 28, 2008 its not dude, its dood. And Hey Dood, don't call me dude... Link to post Share on other sites
JA2340 16 Posted November 28, 2008 Share Posted November 28, 2008 but what does the "dude" (or "dood" if you prefer - trying not to be argumentative here ) mean?? Why not just use the existing words person, man, woman, etc?? Why invent another one? Link to post Share on other sites

JA2340 16 Posted November 28, 2008 Share Posted November 28, 2008 OK, the concept of a person already existed. I can understand a new word for something new - such as computer, laptop etc as the things didn't exist before. Change is not always improvement! Link to post Share on other sites
