Any "dude" who indulges in platitude.

A "dude" suffering from "stating the obvious".
Debu is such a (four letter word deleted) platidude. He has the bloody knack of repeating statements as if they are more profound after he vomits it out.

Urban Dictionary: stating the obvious

[bWY39]

OBSETIOUS

To state to the obvious


"It's cold outside". or "I win" A simple example that can be applied to more conversational statements.

It's about stating the obvious, as opposed to BEING obvious.
