The Dude.
The New York correspondent of
the Brooklyn Eagle, a sort of “Man about Town,” notes the introduction of a new
word into the language. It is d-u-d-e or
d-o-o-d, the spelling not having been distinctly settled yet. Nobody knows where the word came from, but it
has sprung into popularity within the past few weeks, and everybody is using
it.

28, 1883, page 1, column 1.
