gnarly dude 

A phrase that non Southern Californians usually east coasters think is only something people say in the movies, when in fact we use it all the time, along with awesome, stoked and rad. Mostly a coastal term, but also used in the inland empire aka the land of the dirt people.

It describes an impressive event whether it be positive or negative.
That crash was fuckin gnarly dude!

gnarly dude 

Contrary to popular belief, gnarly dude, is not a description of a dude at all. It is an expression generally used after witnessing or otherwise perceiving through a third party any event that is impressive, unbelievable, extraordinary, or out of this world. The phrase is much more closely related to other phrases such as "wow", and "amazing", than to "That dude is gnarly".

gnarly dude 

A guy who's been severely mangled. A man who's been so inexplicably fucked over, fuck up and shit upon that his body is turned up-side-down and inside out - usually with an eye-ball that wanders attached to some sort of fucked up antenna.

It is said of the situation where a person has the bad luck to make contact with his testicles against an undefined surface or object, intentioned or not.
Given the nature of the word, it is more appropriate to design cases where the interaction is made with a moving object, for example, a ball.
Although it is extremely painful for the victim, it tends to be considerably funny to people who witness it.
Today in the baseball game the pitcher took a nutshot; the baseball hit him in the nuts.

Man, I just watched the funniest nutshot video ever.
