meaning of the word "man" to someone seems clear and understandable, and other baffling.Today it is used regularly, both young people and the representatives of the generation whose youth fell on the 70th of the last century.Let's look at it in more detail.
What does it mean?
meaning of the word "man" is comparable to the more literate "people", "man", "man".That is, they are called male person you are mostly familiar.Although much depends on the context, for example, in the phrase "Come on, man, do not worry!" This word is interpreted as a "friend" or "brother."That is, most of the jargon, it has several meanings.In the medium turn the vocabulary of today's students and other young people, especially in large cities, it has lost its popularity and is rarely used.When this expression appeared in our language, where it is, and it always the word "dude" was the same as now?
Stylishly
According to one version, the word "dude" got us by mods - representatives of fashion and at the same time condemned and punishable informal youth movement in the USSR.Its representatives have tried to imitate the people living in America, duplicating their manner of dress and comb his hair, listening to overseas music and the like. Particularly wonderful it looks, provided that at the time of the Soviet Union such a lifestyle strongly censured, and America itself, and even more or lessreliable information about the life of its citizens, to anyone who is not a "visiting" or approaching it (ie 95% of the population), was a mystery under a heap lock.From the phrase "man-respecting American culture" formed the acronym that has become popular and over a narrow range.At this time, the word "man" could fit as the "guy", "dude", "dandy" and to be synonymous with his person - the one who will not give up dudes.In the women's version, it sounds like "chuvikhi" or "Chuvaev."
As hair dryer
But the peoples of Asia, so-called young castrated sheep or goat.In the vernacular version repelled just by this variant of word, as so historically, that the vast majority of the vocabulary of thieves and villains have a bright color, or sex are derived from the words involved in the intima.Perhaps it has something to do with age, conducted behind bars in the absence of women?Dude they call a young man with some problems in the area of sexuality.
What experts say
If we turn to a serious book, composed by masters of spoken and written language, and want to find out, for example, the word "dude" in Dahl, you just do not find it in the dictionary.In the vernacular - is, in slang - is, and Vladimir Ivanovich - not.I do not find it in the "Modern Dictionary" of 2003.From which we can conclude that the word "man" is not included in the ranks of high-grade, literary language, remained in some quarters, and loses its popularity every year.It has already indicated it belongs to the past century, and was replaced by any more modern slang words.
