I see... then I will use "dude". I have been always tomboyish whole my life. Do girls use other words among girl friends?
I remember that I was called like... "dear"(by an old lady) or "boddy"(from an Aussie university student)..."cutie"(by an drunk man)... and more, but I can't remember.... I liked to see how the adults call the little kids... possum...or some other animals' names they were using.

haha. This is actually taken from Internet chatting language. Just like lol (laugh out loud), rofl (rolling on the floor laughing). (These are pronounced as a word). AZN is pronounced by reading the letters separately >> A - Z - N. Teens use it because it roughly sounds like the word Asian. There is also OMG (pronounced as separate letters) which stands for Oh my God!
Japanese people have internet language too right? Can you give me some examples? =D

mmm... Japanese do use net language, espacially young kids (sorry I'm not very young anymore... so I don's use it much)
but we use these...

Yeah. Daisy is a flower. 'Daisy' is probably used for a sound effect not because it has any literal meaning.

like... "true blue" ?
I heard one boy said to me " Im a true blue Aussie, cos my ansester was a climinal and Im proud of it."
