You can't have no woman who is not your sister calling you broThe word bro has become one of the most common word in American vernacular. It’s so common both men and women use to to reference each other . It has changed NYC vernacular almost killing the word Kid And Son.
Bro is clearly from Cali West Coast influence
Thats white dude shyt.
But since these new black people are craccas and they do whatever craccas do...
It is what it is
I hear it so fukkin much, that they got me saying it.
For some reason the remastering of the word "dope" got me not feeling it too

I don’t know how these women let they boyfriend call them breh/bro
I actually heard breh long before I got on here. We were both teenagers. Other than that one person I haven't and still don't hear it.

Wow. Gotcha
I couldn't imagine it tho. It wouldn't sound right to me coming out of another black persons mouth.
If he said "brother". I would get it. Thinking he's a Muslim or righteous katt.
Matter of fact, maybe I've heard it used in an aggressive manner before
