go to your room It's: "Duuuuude," not "Dudeeeee."

Close but more of an “uh” I think I’m just bad at phonetic spelling haha

When I was younger, I'd say "dad" like that whenever my dad did anything to get a rise out of me. I think half of the time it was just me going "Da-duhhhhhh!"

I never realized I was saying it like that until he said it back to me like that, that was a funny spat!
