【Redemption Porn Movie】

'Dude' is Redemption Porn Movieofficially axed from the list of acceptable epithets to call your friends. You'll have to resort to 'pal,' 'mate,' or even 'buddy'.

Boris Johnson, the UK's incoming prime minister, used the word in his victory speech on Tuesday in what one can only assume was a desperate bid to sound like he's Down With The Kids. And reader, he most certainly did not.

The use of the term "dude" appears to have been an attempt to make a catchy campaign acronym, but apparently "dud" wasn't quite the message he was hoping for. "Deliver, unite, defeat, energise: D.U.D.E!"

ICYMI, Boris Johnson was elected leader of the Conservative party on Tuesday following a ballot of party members. He'll officially become the UK's prime minister on Wednesday, replacing Theresa May.

In his speech, Johnson delivered a message to "all the doubters."

"Dude, we are going to energise the country, we are going to get Brexit done," he said.

It's worth watching the clip to fully grasp just how cancelled this word now is. He pronounced it as "duuuuuuude." So, yep, we can never use this word ever again.
