  • ^ 'bro' is kind of like 'mate' but for americanised hipsters; Kind of like a pabst version of 'fam', It has its roots in predominantly black culture but has been appropriated by the white middle class. Wear a checked shirt to a Bodeans and you will hear this address being used in the wild.

    Round my endz everyone has been saying Bro forever, at least since the 80's that I can remember. But it has its routes in people of a Islamic sort of background calling everyone "Brother". I got into the habit of saying because I have gone to school and also go to gym's with these sorts.

    But when switching to "white middle class" social settings and I drop the "Bro" bomb, chortles and snickers all round like I am some kind of fucking Guido.
