Another guy had that, too, but he left a few months ago.
"I will give you a talisman. Whenever you are in doubt, or when the self becomes too much with you, apply the following test. Recall the face of the poorest and the weakest man whom you may have seen, and ask yourself, if the step you contemplate is going to be of any use to him or her. Will she gain anything by it? Will it restore her to a control over her own life and destiny? In other words, will it lead to freedom for the hungry and spiritually starving millions? Then you will find your doubts and your self melt away."

What's a dudette? WikiAnswers is not very helpful, I don't know which par of the phrase to trust...

"A slang term for the feminine of a "dude". or a hair on an elephants buttocks"

I want a shaving lather brush made out of elephant butt hair; I will call it my dudette, and make fun of people who disagree.

This is clearly an example of one of those times where a slang term for some reason totally throws off someone who isn't a native speaker, even though(or perhaps in part BECAUSE) they are overly intelligent.

I am not overly intelligent.

My first thought was that this is a girl that dresses like a man. My second thought was this was a man who dresses like a girl. The elephant butthair completed my confusion.

I hope I'll not be arrested next time I'm in the zoo for telling the security: "I just want to take some great pictures of some filthy dudettes for my collector's album".

Have fun with your brush.. ehh dudette, I mean.

Oh my, I would have never even thought there WAS a word for elephant butt hairs! Much less dudette!

I *think* it can be a fill in option, if that is preferred (just set it up like the "my puffers" field). I could see it being abused though with some pretty crazy stuff ;)

Oh, boy. I am so putting "dudette" in there...

It does get annoying. But then some people might feel unsecure and not join.
