What is How wude?
Jar Jar Binks' rib-cracking Gungan rendition of the commonly known but rarely spoken phrase "how rude" in George Lucas' 1999 magnum opus Star Wars: Episode I-The Phantom Menace.
Binks is perhaps best known for demonstrating the versatility of this expression and reviving it from near-certain obsolescence in an increasingly callous American culture where rudeness has made enormous gains in legitimacy over the past half-century, even becoming embroidered into the very fabric of society. The devilish simplicity of changing a simple letter, "r," to "w" in order to achieve a multi-faceted meaning that both chides the offender and toys with cutesy-humor is the product of what can only be described as formidable, razor-sharp wit.
Binks has achieved widespread recognition and acclaim for his impeccably delivered alien Ebonics. Everyone is also in wide agreement that Binks is just a CUDDLY-WUDDLY WIDDLE ALIEN as well.

Jar-Jar Binks: Yipe! HOW WUDE!
Some asshole kidnaps you, rips out your teeth, and buries you up to your neck in wet earth, denying you food and water and offering only semen sucked from his cock as a source of sustenance. He also forces you to recite the Gettysburg Address each morning at dawn. You look him directly in the eye and say, "HOW WUDE!"
