[dude II]
One more: getting "duded up" for going out in public (could
be just going to a tavern on Friday night, but it could also
be for a wedding, some ceremony, etc). Cleaned up, clean
clothes and shoes without holes or ragged seams, maybe
a suit or tuxedo if the occasion warrants it, etc.
This is clearly a modern, whimsical take-off on the
contemptuous meaning of the term in old cowboy movies,
where "dudes" tended to look like they were dressed for
a parade, even when the occasion was riding out to hunt
down some stray cows or whatever.
