Point being, language evolves with generations, to each there is new slang developed that continues to evolve in meaning given context.
With communication via TV, movie and da innert00bs, language is more viral whereas before it was colloquial, endemic.
The distribution of the various forms of Romansch across Switzerland, Italy and Austria is pretty interesting.Merde De Glace On the Freak When Ski

I find accents interesting. With tv, youtube, instagram, etc you'd think they'd be homogenizing into a kind of gen-am, but the opposite seems to be true.

Yesterday I went into a pizza place and got a couple slices. On my way out, into a crowded street, I heard someone in the distance yell, "Yo! Boss!".
I didn't flinch or turn around. I sat down on a bench outside and a guy approached me returning a shirt that had fallen off my pack.
I was extremely grateful, but questioned his linguistic tactics in my mind.

I used to have entire conversations using different tones and inflections of the word “dude”

What's missing in the "hey buddy, dude or bitch", is body language. You can be the most polite obsequious so and so, but if your body language says fuck you, so do the words.
