If I had children referring to me as such there'd be boxed ears and soapy mouths.

Re: Noun: Bro
2Different context, I suppose, but my brother and I have been calling each other this for about thirty years. No way to change it now
Re: Noun: Bro
3I've never personally used that one, and have seemed to be called it by douche-bros, mostly. I don't have a biological brother.

Re: Noun: Bro
5What's worse is the new pronunciation: "Bruh!".
My 7 year old daughter was allowed too much time watching some idiotic YouTuber and once interjected/referred to me as "bruh" when she was exasperated. It was equal measures hilarious and infuriating.

6Voted CRAP.
Can be appropriate/funny in very specific instances, usually involving humorous/sarcastic situations, but can otherwise be fine not existing anymore.
Johnny Knoxville is allowed to use it.

Re: Noun: Bro
8Not crap!
Like calling others bro (men and women). Like being called bro. Bro is a funny word, being a bro is good.

9The only contexts I ever hear bro used is sarcasm or when someone is making a threat.
Re: Noun: Bro
10If I enjoy using it as a pejorative, how should I vote?
Examples:
- Making fun of bro-core bands like Helmet by calling them a bro-core band. I enjoy this a lot.
- Making fun of tech-bros by referring to them tech-bros. I enjoy this also.
Okay so I am going to vote not crap. I like the noun. I dislike its various referents.
‘Bros’ = not crap.
Bros = crap.
