Fucking is a fairly common term. Most often, this lifestyle is common among secular young people who do not shine with intelligence and abilities. Dude - what is it? This is a guy who comes, as a rule, from a rich family, but does not shine with knowledge and skills. He loves to dress beautifully and stylishly, “to throw dust in the eyes” of naive young ladies. Where did this word come from in Russian and why did it become so popular?
French motifs
What is "dude", they knew even at the time of Pushkin balls. Most of the new foreign words in those days came from France. So the word "dude" was borrowed from the same. If translated from French, it will mean "dove." A foreign dictionary interprets it like this: "An empty young man without special mental data." A man who walks holding his chest with a wheel and proudly swells like a dove in case of the appearance of the opposite sex.
Also, the dove is a free bird, it is a symbol of good and peace. And dudes, as a rule, are free, people independent of human opinions. They feel calm and free in any situation, can quickly adapt to it.
The French often jokingly called the dudes of their friends, who dressed up for the girls, using a clothing style unusual for them in life. Frivolous dudes, called dudes, often caused a grin and disapproval than praise and compliments.
Also to the question "what is a dude?" we can answer that this is a young man who is prone to narcissism. He is always fashionable, but too pretentiously dressed and fixated on his appearance.

There is a synonym for the word "dude" and thieves, card cheaters. In this environment, dudes are called stupid young people, not fashionably dressed. They have no experience, they are easy to fool. Dudes in thieves' jargon can be “torn” (that is, this is the person who has already been robbed and fooled) and “whole” (these are those who only have to face fraud).
Profane with the initiative
Who is a dude? This, as many will say, is a layman (fool) with the initiative. A dude always wants to seem like someone, not really being that person. Dudes can perfectly simulate and fake their appearance to fit the situation.
A normal person, wanting to be, say, an athlete, will go to the stadium and will play sports in order to achieve results. What is a dude? This is one who will not break and try to achieve the goal. He will simply create a suitable image: put on a sports uniform, put on fashionable shoes, and maybe attach a badge of a master of sports. And now the "real" athlete is ready.
A dude will never have enough energy to do something significant in life. It’s easier and easier for them to simply create visibility: fashionable, sporty, business or successful. In some dictionaries, dude has a simple but understandable meaning “upstart”.
There have long been dudes in the Russian language, they were simply called dandies. Surprisingly, in Russian and French, this word means birds. Goldfinch - a bird bright, pathos and loud, always attracting attention to his person. She is very mobile and loud.
In general, word meanings and their connection with birds have long been used in Russia. Recall the expression “swimming like a swan” or “proud like an eagle” or “stupid goose”. There are a lot of examples.
Narcissism
Efremova’s dictionary explains what a dude is, only in the Russian version - “dandy”. A brightly dressed, smart person with a clear addiction to everything that is dear and “screaming” for prosperity. It turns out a description of the same French dude, only in the Russian manner. The only difference between the meanings of these two words will be in age. If a dude in France is most often a young man, then our Russian dandy can be a deep old man, who does not forget about his appearance.
Whatever you call them, but dudes, dandies and dandies will always be united by a comprehensive love for oneself. They love everything in themselves, from polished shiny shoes to a fashionable haircut. Moreover, for them it is important that others around them admire, praise their appearance and ability to look fashionable.
