[whocares]

Bro, Dude, Man, Guy, Kid, we been saying that shit for 30-40 years, god knows how long.

It's this bruh crap that needs to go. So gutter.

 

[kimocomplex]

You sound old calling younger people stupid

But in all actuality, they are pretty retarded

 

[deviake]

Bro/bros ain't new

About the time we stopped eating dinner at the table

 

[UncleJosh]

I have been calling people bro for at least 40 plus years lol. Nothing is new it just comes back in fashion.

 

[Protectandserve]

My kid says it way too much. I have to tell him repeatedly not to…

At what point did everyone start calling each other "bros" or something like that...imagine addressing someone correctly

is it tiktok/youtube culture just taking over?

and that leads me onto the question, WTF are these kids going to do when they grow up and cant speak to a human properly?

I'm hooked on watching police body cam footage... and it blows my mind when a couple gets arrested and the dude calls his lady 'bro'... maybe it just doesn't mean what we thought it used to mean?

about 5-10 years ago, it's annoying, but I guess each generation has their little things. I guess people have called each other "brother" forever, as in "brother can you spare a dime".

This thread reminds me of one time at an old job when the mail guy (who liked to stay and chat) was on a soapbox about how "the damn kids" would call sneakers "kicks" and this guy was no older than 50 and this was less than a decade ago. Anyways my boss (who was like late 60s maybe) walks in and is like "Man, you don't know what kicks mean? That's from my generation, you aren't that old!"


I do feel like "bro" being used by women is a fairly recent thing but c'mon man, unless you are like 60 "bro" isn't new

My 11 year old daughter has started using Bruh. FML.

I was in a store recently and I heard these kind of deep for a girl’s voice saying “dude, bro…. Pick these up”.

I looked up and it was two college age girls. They sound like the loss of a few more brain cells would send them over the border to mongoloid country.

One time Paige Brueckers was in the Walgreens by my house and in the store, while talking to her friend, she began every thought with “broooooo” in this dopey voice like she just woke up after down 2 bottles of NyQuil

In my 40's and I still say dude regularly. I'm not really in a position to judge.

The Brits has used bruv in TV series since at least the 70ties

But I hate the bro, I saw a reality car show and a couple called their son bro.
Imagine being parents and address your 4 year old son bro...
