Skip to content The word “dude” does not officially refer an infected hair on an elephant’s butt. That particular definition of dude is used as slang and is largely perpetuated as an urban legend or myth. The origin of the word “dude” is attributed to New York
City slang; it originally referred to a fastidious man who is very concerned with his appearance, grooming and manners. The most common definition of “dude” is simply a general form of address referring to a man, a woman or a group. In western U.S. slang, it also refers to a city dweller who has come to vacation on a ranch. MORE FROM REFERENCE.COM Skip to content Dude is not the name for an ingrown hair on an elephant. Ingrown hair on any human or animal is known by the medical term pseudofolliculitis, which denotes a hair that grows through the wall of a hair follicle or under the skin surface instead of through the
follicle opening. According to Etymononline, dude originated in the late 1800s as a slang term referencing a fastidious man. This term was later used in reference to city dwellers vacationing in the West at what became known as dude ranches. There are various urban legends suggesting that it names ingrown hair on elephants, cows or horses, but they have no basis in fact.
