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

    “Yank” is what people outside the US derisively call Americans

    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 😎
