Everybody’s going bro this and bruh that, but you’re not my brother, dude 😒
It’s not like either word is new but I feel like “bro” and variations like bruh or brah have become way more commonly used in the last decade among younger people as a term of address in contexts where I would have just said dude
Yeah it’s frustrating. Don’t know if I’m being misgendered but generally I assume I am if a man is calling me bro
at least locally i’ve noticed it become totally gender neutral.
kind of like how “guys” is often used instead of the more neutral “ya’ll” or “comrades”
ah yes, masculinity assumed to be the default “gender neutral” option 🙃
trust me i wish i could call everyone “gals”
