I’ve known it for a long time (since I became an adult, basically), but I am becoming more and more of an old person every day. This fact was just made clear to me once more as I stumbled upon The Old Person’s Guide To Hip Young Modern Lingo.
Don’t get me wrong, I knew a good number of these, but quite a few of them (Based? Cross-faded? Kek?) were news to me.
Handy and informative as this is, my favourite definition is one that I’m pretty sure everyone already knows.
Bro
A noun that used to be common in black culture denoting “brother” in a convivial sense but which has shamelessly been appropriated by Caucasians to mean a heterosexual male who is kind of a douchebag. Variants include “bra,” “breh,” “bruv,” “braj,” “Bromosapien,” “Brosephine,” “Bro Montana,” and “Bromosapien.” To give a “brojob” is to pull a prank on a fellow bro. An alternate term is “dudebro.” A “broshi” or “broshki” is a derogatory term denoting a masculine lesbian.
I have no idea why bromosapien is mentioned twice. Perhaps there’s a joke in there that I’m too square to understand. Square, for the benefit of you youngsters, is what you would call lame. You kids still say lame, right?
I saw this on Brad’s Facebook and was going to pass it along. Looks like you beat me. I feel so old, about as old as I did when I posted that virtual life song.
When did Brad put this on his Facebook? Would be funny if it was today, because I just randomly happened to find it in my regular travels.
I’ll have to check the date…today was the first time I ever saw it. Yup an hour ago.
Lol I’ll bet we’re where he got it from.
