A good example of something I dislike is the phrase “dude culture.” Why don’t you just say “dudeness?” I hate that phrase, because it assumes we’re using “dude culture” as a synonym for “lots and lots of dicks everywhere.” It’s really more of a general concept than a dick-related concept. There’s “macho culture,” also, but it just doesn’t have the same negative connotation that “dude culture” does (because people have other reasons to dislike it). It’s actually quite positive.
“Dude culture” is generally a term used to describe the culture of some kind of sport or subculture, generally involving a lot of male bonding activities, often aggressive in nature.
