Definition
A philosophy or lifestyle centered on the attitudes and values associated with being a dude, popularized in contemporary culture.
Etymology
From 'dude' plus the suffix '-ism' (from Greek '-ismos'), which forms nouns indicating a distinctive practice, system, or philosophy. This modern coinage reflects how '-ism' attaches to casual terms to create ideological frameworks.
Kelly Says
Dudism became an actual religion registered in 2005, based on the character 'The Dude' from the Coen Brothers' film 'The Big Lebowski'—it has thousands of ordained dudeist priests! It shows how pop culture can create entirely new philosophical movements, and how a silly word can become the foundation of genuine spiritual practice.
