    this day in age, almost any famous person can have a verb named after their well known behavior, e.g. “gimme your wallet now, or i’ll Chris-Brown you!”

    There are many.

  2. Sometimes it still has a negative connotation… like “yah, sure guy” or “hey guy”… especially when they know the person’s name and don’t use it.

  3. I wonder where the word Dude came from…

    I believe that buddy, as in Hey, buddy, would qualify as an eponym. I think Buddy is a diminutive of William.

    Love your videos.
