What is The Dude?
1.
the man for his time and place
You're Mr. Lebowski. I'm the Dude, so that's what you call me. Or maybe His Dudeness, or Duder, or El Duderino if you're not into the whole brevity thing.

A way out west there was a fella,
fella I want to tell you about, fella
by the name of Jeff Lebowski. At
least, that was the handle his lovin'
parents gave him, but he never had
much use for it himself. This
Lebowski, he called himself the Dude.
Now, Dude, that's a name no one would
self-apply where I come from. But
then, there was a lot about the Dude
that didn't make a whole lot of sense
to me. And a lot about where he
lived, like- wise. But then again,
maybe that's why I found the place
s'durned innarestin'.
-The beggining narration of The Big Lebowski

from The Big Lebowski, cult classic. The Dude, played by Jeff Bridges, is everything you'd want- sexy, mellow as sunday morning, and... yeah, mellow. he has a number of cool habits, including bowling, and drinking
Fortunately I’ve been adhering to a pretty strict, uh, drug regimen to keep my mind, you know, uh, limber.

From the movie The Big Lebowski. The Dude is confused with The Big Lebowski.
Let me explain something to you. Um, I am not "Mr. Lebowski". You're Mr. Lebowski. I'm the Dude. So that's what you call me. You know, that or, uh, His Dudeness, or uh, Duder, or El Duderino if you're not into the whole brevity thing.
