Chronic Duder Disorder (CDD), is characterized by the eminent overuse of the interjection "dude." This causes the victim to sound as if they are overtly lacking in intelligence, and probably enjoy spending their free time partaking in activities such as surfing.
This disease, apart from being highly undesirable, is highly contagious as well. If you
don't have it now, it is inevitable that someone very close to you does, and therefore you
will get it. Very soon.
