Resumo

Hodad is a "surfer who rarely goes into the water but still talks, acts and dresses as if he were a minor god of the sport," or "a greasy hot rodder with long hair and sideburns . . . an ill-mannered beach bum who doesn't surf . . . generally anyone surfers don't like." . . .A male dweeb is often called a "Fred" or a "Barney" and a female dweeb is "Wilma," after the Flintstone characters. The Flintstones also have given surfing "Yabbadabba doo!" an exclamation of exhilaration akin to "Cowa-bunga!". . . Says Erin Martin, a 17-year-old resident of Newport Beach: "These Val guys are totally gross. They think they're real, but you can tell they're Barneys." She says "dweeby types" often "snog right up" to her when she's wearing her "floss," or thong-backed bikini.
