Hey! Maybe D should stands for something instead of, uhhh, nothing?

Now, whoever heard of a language called "Dude"?  Woah ... that's way 
awesome! Like, totally bodacious, dude!

Seriously though, that does have rather a nice ring to it. And, from a 
marketing perspective, there's nothing quite like standing out from the

In conversation, I'm gonna' start calling it "Dude" ~ just to see what
