What grandmother dresses like that and calls people dude?

I don' care what she wears as much as I detest the expression "Dude". That word is used so frequently, I had students slip up and say it to me (they knew I didn't like the word). The fact that it is such a common word in their venacular, that they aren't able to censor themselves has me feeling like "Dude" is here to stay.

She can dress any way she wants.  She may be a horrible person, but this (and I will apologize if I am wrong) s  Not a gramma, though.  I call male students "dude" "bro" all the time!!  

I do not care about clothing but I do take issue with the use of the word "dude". When 9 year old students cannot control their use of the phrase, "but, Dude..." When addressing any adult, there's clearly a need to point out when the address is acceptable. I was able to curb being addressed as dude when I stopped acknowledging the person using it. Hard when I have never been one to ignore any child.
