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
Quite the opposite actually since “y’all” is associated with the Southern United States
“Yank” is what people outside the US derisively call Americans, “Yankee” is what Southerners call Northerners
In the Spanish-speaking world there are definitely a lot of people calling USians “yanquis”. So yeah, to me y’all is specifically yanqui.
In Finnish, the the equivalent word is “jenkki” (the j is pronounced like y)
People in the Southern states see themselves as different from the North, but to everyone else around the world they’re all just a bunch of annoying Yanks 😎
